OTOTOT rudedog, My cable co. Comcast uses @Home as their service provider. @Home uses a combination of regional data centers and local caching servers which protects bandwidth levels. They also limit the number of customers per node to maintain a high level of service. Here's a link which explains their network architecture. home.net Here's a link to the man who created the @Home network, Milo Medin (father of the internet). sciam.com Second, it is one-way. Good for downloading web pages but a non-starter for hosting them. No way to do two-way high speed communication. Does not support remote networking, PPTP, or a host of other technologies with real ROI to business users.
