Besides, have you ever tried updating an XP system at 56k? It could literally take days.

You may have a point there.

More to the point, why would one subscribe to a cable service to get only 56k when they could get better rates from another cable provider or DSL? Defeats the purpose of subscribing to a broadband service. Your customers who want high speed service would most likely change providers . . .

My $0.02. I *like* my 250k connection . . . ;-)

Perhaps you missed the part where Jonathan said this is a config for customers whose machine has been infected by the virus du jour. The conscientious customer gets something quite a bit better than 56k :-) -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:nnorman@incanus.net A booming voice says, "Wrong, cretin!", and you notice that you have turned into a pile of dust.
