Heh-looooo! It has no meaning to say "that Bid.com would have the ability to access broad band [sic] cable". Any service on the Internet can "have the ability to access broad band [sic] cable", in that any subscriber using cable modem can access any service on the Internet, so hundreds of thousands of cable modem subscribers in North America could have access to Bid.com's site. Cable modems are a consumer access method, as I explained in my previous post. I use it at home. Yes, it can be used by businesses where the local carrier permits, but because it is asynchronous it is silly to attempt to use it to run a service over. You could ask the company (try investor relations as a start) to find out whether they do their own hosting or outsource it. WUWT ps "broadband" is an adjective to describe the bandwidth available over a particular media. Cable is broadband because it is relatively high speed (varies from carrier to carrier depending on the age of their cable install base, the type of boosters they have installed, etc).
