I have a cable modem .
And hard to believe it actually get's close to some big pricy connection .

Cable technology has a roof of 10MB/sec .
If you have bad performance on a cable modem , don't yell at the modem , yell at your ISP's overloaded backbone .

My ISP has a good backbone and outperforms cable connections of other ISP's .

That's also the reason why I have to lie to LW about my connection .
If I put it on cable it just won't utilize my entire connection .


For example : I put LW on cable and give it a huge list to download .
While LW is going stupid downloading 40 files at once (the standard limit of 8 is way too low) , I still have enough bandwidt left to stream music of the net at 96KB/sec using Windows Media Player
