David, My hope is that ADSL will hurt Cable Modems becuase xDSL does not share bandwith like cable. In the PC World review it looks like Cable Modems won't even match up against ADSL. I "believe" ADSL is going to take off because the RBOC's need it, whether they have figured it out yet or not. The article talks of quite a slowdown when visiting busy sites. This will affect ADSL as it currently does my ISDN connection. However MCI and the rest of them are actively increasing the bandwith right now and buy the time ADSL can be delievered to the masses the problem may be, not solved, but working much better than now. If it the bandwith problem does not get fixed we will be using 56k modems in 2005. ISDN right now is at times making me really wonder if it's worth it. During business hours sites like this one are not much bettter off using ISDN over a Courier 33.6. At the moment I would not even consider Cable or ADSL becuase of this very thing. 56K, ISDN, ADSL, xDSL then ? USR can dominate them all I'm definately biased to ADSL over Cable for many reasons. The bottom line to me is that it will outperform cable in a mass market scenario. Derek
