Generally it is fast.....when it is slow..it seems to be the site...I am pulling from...rather than the pulling... cause if I switch to another site..it speeds back up... All I have to say about cable modem is.... If you can get...it.......and if you can afford it..... then GET IT!!! You will not believe the difference! Wow.....downloading a file....you can't even go get a cup of coffee anymore...it is down..as you soon as you stand up!....I am amazed... and being a "techie" since....1980...or so...(showing my age)...I am not that easily impressed.... I always have to have the fastest. Another thing...is we have a "in home" lan...so all the computers can use the ATHM service via a proxy ...which means.....whereas before we had 4 separate modem phone lines (~$18 each)...and 4 ISP services ($15 each)...now we are all on....with no phone lines needed for that....so it is just the $34.50/month....so we ended up saving money....(hey..cool!)... AND if that is not enough......it saves time....as soon as the computer is "on"..it is on the Internet...no....clicking on...waiting for it to dial the ISP, busy busy busy...finally dial....connect....man..could knit a sweater...!)... with ATHM ...just click and wham....onsite! I love it.....so I bought a few shares.....(shy smile..) Mary
