Hal,

First off, I am addicted to the high-speed access. I can't even imagine using a modem anymore. You still get frustrated at individual website delays though.

I did get bot DSL and Cable modem. I trade stocks actively full-time for my own account and need a reliable connection. I have found both DSL and cable to lose their connection a number of times each during the trading day whereas my Netcom dial-up rarely ever went down. When I lose the connection from one I change over to the other. I use NT and am able to change my network settings without rebooting. I am glad I have both and will keep both for reliability. In fact I plan on getting a second NIC and having both up at the same time. Not sure how this will work but am going to try it.

For regular home users I would go with the cable modem from @Home. It is faster and cheaper.

As far as it relates to Ampex, I think Bramson's vision makes sense. High-Speed access is just so much better than dial-up. It will allow all kinds of services that don't work under dial-up.
