Hey Rich,

Cable is great - yet one is still at the mercy of the Internet! Just because one has a fast connection to it, doesn't mean that you have access to all the information on it at a faster rate. The hidden problem inlucdes (yet not limited to):
Data Routers - "boxes" that route both the request for data as well as the data itself.
Servers where the data resides
And how much traffic is on the "net"
Not to mention your service provider!

Larry H. and I had a few posts earlier explaining this in more detail...

Yet having a cable modem connection is still "kewl"!

Still envious in LA,

Dick
