Gene, re:My real question for cable/internet is, "How does the cable provider access the World Wide Web?" I don't know what you mean. The cable service provider most likely has a T-3 connection to the Internet backbone (similar or AOL, etc.). What is happeneing now is that popular Web sites, like yahoo, are being replicated locally by the service provider on their own network. So, for example, if you were part of AtHome network and wanted to get to Yahoo's web site, you wouldn't actually be going to Yahoo's site, but to a local, replicated Yahoo site on AtHome's network. You will notice the performance difference. If you go to AtHome's web site, they explain this in more detail. joey
