I have had cable modem for over a year. You will find a lot of servers slowing you down. Many will also find their PC slowing them down when they get higher speed service. Any suggestion on who everyone should go to to upgrade their PCs and servers? <VBG> Scott

LOD, I take it you think DSL is the way to go. How many site servers slow you down on a percentage basis? Pat

Steve, Hi!! RE: Kemble, I just had DSL installed at home on my Dell! Lightning fast, and the only thing that slows me down is the SI server. I'm jealous... :o) Do I have to wait that long? Best, Kemble From Barron's June 21st 99: Interview with Michael Dell "LOOK NOT VERY FAR OUT TO THE NEXT GENERATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY AND YOU AE TALKING ABOUT INTERNET CONNECTIONS SPEEDING UP BY A FACTOR OF 500 TIMES FASTER THAN WHAT PEOPLE HAVE NOW, ENABLING ALL SORTS OF RICHER APPLICATIONS AND NEW COMUTER USES. THE PC USER WILL BENEFIT, AS WILL THE COMPANIES THAT SUPPLY AND RUN THE NETWORKS, AND THOSE LIKE DELL THAT MAKE THE FAST DEVICES AT EACH END OF THE NETWORK, THE PCS, SERVERS AND STORAGE UNITS. AND WHEN YOU GET THE FAT PIPE, THE CONTENT COMPANIES WILL ALSO BENEFIT, SINCE THEY'LL BE ABLE TO SELL THEIR WARES AND SERVICES MORE EASILY. BROADBAND IS A KILLER APPLICATION, WHOSE TIME HAS COME." "More important, at least to DELL is that just an estimated 29% of America is wired at all, but a fraction of those computer users are plugged in via slow modems. But within three years, he predicts, most of them will have a high-speed connection-a big step toward creation of a wired world. A world that probably would benefit his company and many of it's big rivals."
