vladimir-- its STILL faster than 56kbps. the point is that while it may bog it down a little, a bigger pipe means it can get cleared out fo the backbone faster. my point about DLing over g.lite was that the traffic at optimal speeds would be short lived. AND, this is a good point about cable. you were on a LAN right? how many users were tying up 10Mbps available while you were DLing your file? same problem you will have with cable. THEN you have the tie in and competition for bandwidth with other users on different networks, all vying for space on your providers NI. at least with the phone company, the bottlenecks are reduced. good luck to all, trey
