Yeah I am aware of the more users of the Internet connections on Cable the
less bandwidth. And I would rather go the wireless solution but all the
major services are not yet available here, damnit. I just can't see the
price for cable service, it is much too high for my retirement income. Is
DSL 64kbs worth the $30?
