Yes...Dougjn...I do understand what you just said, BUT that doesn't answer the question I asked...it's ok really...just don't care to have things turned around or misconstrued.

I'll ask again because your answer has confused me.

The statement you made was....

>>>If cable modems and xDSL take off, the backbone is gonna be a HUGE bottleneck<<<

And I asked...

How's that Dougjn? Thought it would be the opposite...if the user count remains the same.

Sure ... just watch your screen and your modem
lights when you hit a URL ... compare the delay
to the actual time the modem is active. Then
imagine the modem 10X or 100X faster ... does the
response speed up ... sometimes yes, sometimes no.

If you've got a 1Mpbs pipe, you are going to be
waiting on other stuff than the pipe 99% of the time.

Same, same for lots of access models ...
