<<Put a few thousand more people on this cable system and we could use all the bandwidth coming anywhere near Erie or Pittsburgh.>> How about a few HUNDRED thousand? Glenn, I believe you hit the crux of the problem right on the money. It's NOT the speed of the Cable Modem that will cause the problems. It is the number of people using those Cable Modems that will swamp the infrastructure bandwidth. BTW, any idea how many Cable Modems 1 coax cable can THEORETICALLY support at full speed? Thanks! Ken
