Tony, I know that you share bandwidth with both. My point is that with cable you are sharing the last mile and that is were it the most expensive to upgrade bandwidth. With dsl you share bandwidth on the backbone to the CO. There it is easier and cheaper to put in more bandwidth. My cable modem is external and connects into the ethernet lan in my house. But it still will only talk to one ip address at a time. You have to go in and change the address you want it to talk to each time you go from you computer to another. Also while your are online with the cable modem you cannot connect to any of the other pc's on the lan. I put a proxy server on my machine and tried that, but it also was a pain and some of the things my son gets into do not work though a proxy server. I agree that a lot of users will not pay extra for DSL, but the price will come down. There will be plenty of market for companies like PDYN and EFNT to do well.
