For a cable modem, I believe you need a phone line and the cable line... The data is only faster on the way in....the data out goes through the phone line, which is 28K(even with a 56K modem that is true)... How much of the country is actually hooked up to cable? How many have telephones? I think more have the latter, which makes DSL more feasable. DSL comes over the phone lines, but you have to be within two miles of a hub(I'm sure more hubs are going in everyday). Both cable and DSL basically "share" the lines, but cable bogs down more. These are the little tidbits we have learned when trying to get a faster hookup. We are on the edge of a DSL hub, and it may not be feasible, so we decided to go with ISDN. I think AOL is doing the right thing by ramping up DSL... Annette
