Jeff, I use RoadRunner (Time Warner) thru a cable modem as my ISP (aong w/ a Dell PII 333). I can't say enough about it. I truly cannot imagime using a tel modem now. Check (your cable provider) in your area for @Home or RoadRunner. You won't be sorry. Dave

Jeff, WEll I have great service all around here (not meaning to brag). At work we have a full blown T3, on the private (relatively) canadian research network, which has connection points in chicago and outwest somewhere (I believe). In addition the campus is strung with fiber between the buildings and 100/10Mbps ethernet to the desktops (multi-pipes available on request).. I have 2 10Mbps feed into my lab here and proxy 8 machines out of that. At home I have a meager 56Kbps dial-up connection to Sprint Canada. Fee $22.95 (Cdn) for unlimited access. My average x-fer rate maxes out my modem. In about 2 months I will be having a 4Mbps cable modem deployed at my house for $49 (cdn) including cable modem rental and unlimited 24hour a day access and a permanent IP address. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, which is not exactly what you would call a high-tech capital of canada. Areas like Ottawa and parts of Quebec, the Maritime Provinces (New Brunswick and Newfoundland) as well as good chunks of BC are now ready of xDSL. In addition, most of Ontario will be wired for cable modem access by the end of this century (the big cable company Rogers will control most of it). Montreal Canada is (to the best of my knowledge) cable wired and so is Vancouver and Calgary. Bell Canada (the local phone co) has all but ditched ISDN in favour of xDSL which they are rolling out at a rapid pace to try and head off cable deployments. Maybe you should move to canada for fast access ;-).. Steve Cyrix/NSM Rule!
