Awron - Re: " When do you expect this problem to be solved? " Not any time soon. There are 4 or 5 major fronts - all vying for attention - cable modems, ISDN, ADSL/xDSL, Direct Broadcast, VBI/Cable/Broadcast - and probably several more. I don't see a common "winner" for 3 or 4 years. As for upgrading the sub $1K PCs to the higher speed internet access - I would bet these sub $1K's become outdated/underpowrered LONG BEFORE increased internet bandwidth is available. In fact - take Compaq's first sub $1k - the Presario 2100 - a 133 MHz MediaGX machine. This was obsoleted after 2 months by a 150 MHz Presario, then a 166 MHz Presario came along a few months later then a 180 MHz, and soon a 200 MHz, etc., etc. These seem to have a "half-life" of about 2 or 3 months. Pity the duped ones that bought these turkeys. Paul
