My brother's DSL provider got bought recently. Today he switched to a Road Runner Cable Modem. He reports that it is $40/month instead of the DSL $50/month and he reports that with his MAC Ethernet connection: "It's a 3com HomeConnect modem. Ethernet and USB, but the package says usb is only supported for PC." "The bottom line is I downloaded Quicktime movies from Apple, and Netscape 4.07 from Netscape, each at 220k/ sec download speed (one at a time). My 384 dsl always got 37k/sec so that means my Cable Modem is about 6 times faster! The DSL was 6 times faster than my 56k modem." So there you have it. Straight from a more informed user's perspective. A cheaper, faster system. I expect cable to rule over DSL in urban areas. I see your article and raise it with a more informed writer's article. o~~~ O
