>My friend just told me that a friend of his, who is connected to cable, was informed by his cable system that due to the bottleneck of overload in his neighborhood, they will be restricting his internet speed to 128k/sec<

I think @Home is doing that to me now and they are denying it.Or better still,their lousy cable system is doing it and they don't know it.

the 128kbps limit is for upstream traffic, not a big deal unless you are running the next great portal from your basement...

the shared nature of the medium means traffic jam is almost unavoidable, unless the cable companies move the upstream traffic to the higher part of the spectrum. another thing I noticed is, half of my cable TV channels will go off when it rains... poor wiring? RF signal absorbed by rain drops?
