>I just installed a cable modem at my house. The connection speeds are truly mind-boggling. I have never participated in the Friday discussion groups because my connection was so awful, it wasn't worth it. I see a whole ne venue of opportunity presenting itself here..

Welcome to the 21st century! *g* I've had a cable modem for that past year and half and have mixed feelings about it. While I like the speed, AT&T's customer non-service, as well as continual service outages make me wish DSL was available in my area.
