Re: FLASH:cable?

[Gregg Caines]

It does depend on the neighbourhood, but if you

have a good neighbourhood (ie not a lot of techies

on the block), you can blow DSL away with

cable's bandwidth.  I once attached a small 3 node

LAN to my cable, and two of my friends and I

played quake online at the same time with super

low pings and no latency...and I've had download

speeds up to 220 kbps in the wee hours of the

morning.
