>>Is it hooked up to the same outlet as your TV cable box I guess is the question. Could you explain how this work?<< Sandie, I don't have cable access to the internet yet, but perhaps I can help a little with your question. Think of your telephone line as a narrow two lane road with cars going in both directions. The "cars" are message packets passing between you and your Internet Service Provider. Because the road is narrow and because the telephone network imposes a strict speed limit, the "cars" can't go very fast. Think of cable as a huge, fast highway with hundreds of lanes, very fast with no speed limits. Some of the lanes are carrying your reqular TV signals, but there is plenty of space for more lanes. The new lanes are for message packets between you and an Internet Service Provider. The technical problem the cable companies are now in the process of fixing is that when cable was constructed, it was set up for one-way traffic only...i.e. broadcast of TV signals from the head-end to you. It costs money and time to upgrade for two-way traffic, which is why not everyone (including me) has cable internet yet. Gerry
