Tell me a site that can take most advantage of broadband. How about ExciteBroadband? Oh yeah, thats not out yet. I'll have to leave the response to people who actually have it. :( Your experience that the difference is slight is interesting. I'd long thought this might be the case but pretty much nobody I've talked to with the service says it is this way (with the exception of SI who's servers are horrid). At what sites do you primarily find this to be true? Eric

Think parallel. Here, you can download this sunmicrosystems MS Office equivalent product. File size is about 65 mb, so download time will be less than 10 minutes. sun.com While the file is dowloading, and if you have realplayer, you can listen to the radio - and also read and/or post messages on SI.

Try these for starters shockwave.com broadcast.com To see how BB will effect and is effecting websites and the ability sell/shop online, surf around this general example. Compare it to what you saw 2 years ago. The combination of Flash and BB is changing things quickly. isthistoyota.com If you don't feel like surfing the site, here's a direct link to one example isthistoyota.com (I'm a little biased here, my father owns a couple of Toyota dealerships...) All of these sites can be reached by dial up, but the speed of cable should allow you to dismiss or engage each site at a much quicker speed. Regards Jay
