I haven't read up on Cable modems for about two years. I remember that the major problem with cable modems was shared bandwidth. Your the first on your block with a cable modem, great speed. A few more users, still good. But when everybodyelse is plugged in, big slow-down. Another hurdle is the old cable plant. Amplifiers are spaced to boost the signal to the home. They were one-way transmition only and need to be replaced. The new 750Mhz deployments solved this problem, and re-builds of current plants must be more than 1/2 completed. Shared bandwidth seems to place a limit on how much data your cable wire can handle. About 65 Million households in the US have a cable connection. Telephone has 595 Million copper lines in the US. Telephone lines are two-way, already. Sony will have a XDSL modem, too.
