Rob, thanks for the explanation. This leads me to think that DSL might prove superior in the long run. Happy investing. RCH

It is possible to be limited by the bandwidth on the local cable loop if there are a large number of active users on the same loop, but each cable modem's bandwidth is only a fraction of the bandwidth available on the cable loop so, I doubt this is the source of his problems. I believe that the cable modem is using a fixed part of the total bandwidth. So the more users and data on your particular cable loop (headend), then the more contention for that fixed bandwidth.
