QUOTE unfortunately the myths of cable modems are just that. sure, it's a "shared" medium, but so is the ethernet at your office, and has little to do with your speeds seen. your performance will be more governed by what your connectivity is out of the cable headend to the "internet" or if your node is abnormally overloaded with customers. Vortex, I agree. As a professional geek I can tell you that cable is generally faster for most people. If you are hosting a website and need the committed upload speeds then a T1 or DSL (budget - low hit web site) is your best bet. I have also found cable to be lower cost, plus now I get Speed Channel!! Just remember that DSL is distance limited. If you are too far from the point of presence (POP) then you may be shit out of luck (SOL). - Joe |
