Yep, right through my CATV cable. It's as fast as my ethernet connection here at work, although like any connection it occasionally slows down a bit. In general it makes a huge difference, but costs $20/month more than my old ISP. Well worth it in my opinion over 56k modem. I think the marketing blurb is that it's 100 times faster in terms of bandwidth. There's not as big an improvement in latency, but its still somewhat better. Plus you never have to dial in, tie up your phone line, etc. Kevin
