I like Junior's better too. We are getting some speed degredation as more people sign up for cable. The intial cable ssytem was a trail basis and was limited to businesses only. They opened it up to residential and many are jumping on board. I see a few problems. There is only one OC3 feeding the server and the server is feeding a large geographical area. The OC 3 is inadequate and the local loops become slower at certain times. DSL is not available here. The would take care of the local loop problem but I doubt any firm is willing to pay for more than an OC3. DWDM is great but it better be deployed much faster<G> Glenn
