Kent, as you probably know, nature hates a vacuum. It doesn't matter how fast the point-point connection gets when the Internet backbone can't support it. No matter how broad the bandwidth gets, it will always be filled with traffic (ie. more and more peole log on when they hear how fast the internet has become and slow it down.) Tell me Kent, since you purchased Norton, would you also PAY to download the updates? If you entered your credit card number into the form and pressed 'download' only to suffer from repeated broken pipelines and server busy errors, would you be satisfied? The only 'pay' websites that make money are the porn web sites, and even they are hurting these days. If you've got a pay web site, you can guarantee that somebody somewhere is offering the same thing for free.

Bart.
