Welcome aboard, '10. How do you like our little thread? We don't get along very well, but strangers can't just climb aboard and start bashin' anyone (except Sharkie)in our little family, so watch it <g>. Bruce IS the one to ask about cable modems, since he has one now. Time Warner is starting that service here in central NY this June. It's called "Roadrunner". $99 installation, $39.95 a month for cable subscribers, $44.95 for others. The modem remains the property of the cable company. You get unlimited internet service, e-mail address, and web page space.

2-4-6-8-10, I use @home for my fiber optic access and it's available through my cable company. If you don't have cable in your area you're out of luck. Cost is San Diego is $149 installation, $39.95 per month thereafter. I've cut my time spent on the internet by half just because I don't have to wait. It's well worth the money. Arnie

My cable modem installation and monthly cost is the same as Arnie's. And you get to keep the 3Com ethernet card but not the cable modem. Installation is tricky, took them 3 visits to get mine right. Most of the time it works OK, although there are evenings when it slows down almost to 33.6k speed. The big difference is in downloading massive files. Almost instantaneous. My provider is TCI At Home cable. Although almost everyone has cable, fiber optic cable is required for this connection and is slowly being rolled out across the country. If its available in your area, get it. Bruce
