I've heard that the cable co's (@home) won't allow users to set up web servers unless they pay much higher fees. And if some users notice others "breaking" the rules, they "report" them to the bandwidth police. I've also heard that US West has no such restriction on their ADSL users. Happy Holidays to all.

Ed, I think that this Cable sharing issue has gotten totally out of hand. Lets say that 9 of your neighbors and your self are downloading info at the same time,....now your rate goes from 10 meg to 1 meg. What are the chances that everyone on the network is going to download mega files all at the same time. For the most part their is a lot of idol time. I think that Cable modems are like company's internal networks, but on a much grander scale. If the infrastructure can support the traffic then it could be a powerful force. I think that the average Cable modem speed could be at least 300k and up to 1 meg,...not bad for $40 a month. All in my own opinion.
