The cable mode usage is not as big of a problem as you think. As a long time user of the cable modem for home and business, I have had to research those future problems that you are speaking off. Once the cable modems get "bogged" down as you seem to think they will, the cable companies and ISP's are ready for that. They will simply split the pipe that send the data up and down stream. This will allow twice as many users all the accesss speed as we are accustomed too. The trick to doing this was that the cable companies are building this contingency into the infrastructure.

Finally, even if the cable modem did slow significantly, it is still 5 times faster at current levels than anything else out the, upstream or down. I guess we can give up a little and still not be hurt too much. I will be keeping my eye on things though, just in case!!!
