Can you tell me the name of the town that did this? I would like to put my town into the ISP business.

Cable Modem Info (Reply to this comment)
by sdcruiser
I appreciate your advice on cable modems. I have subscribed to cable service since 1996 or 7 and have been VERY happy with it until the last few months. Over the last few months I have been very displeased with the speed. Does anyone have any comments about other reasonably priced alternatives?

Also, I have been looking at Starband but am hesitant to spent the $700 or so to start without really knowing how well it works.

Try the Linksys Etherfast Cable / DSL Router.
Very easy to set up, and can be had for about $178.00

This sounds great! (Reply to this comment)

And I believe San Antonio's cable provider is attempting to get into this business now, also.

After your review, I may give it a try.

Mahalo for the info.

Difficult choice (Reply to this comment)
by arenson9
This was a good, informative
opinion. My requirements for a good
review of cable modem service may be
too subjective, but I wished this opinion
had explained in more depth how to connect multiple computers through a cable modem.

Thanks, this was really interesting. I'd love to try cable modem, but don't want to give the money to TCI (now AT &T) in our area.

Great. GREAT Review! (Reply to this comment)

This should be under "Professional Reviews" since you earn your living doing this stuff! heh.

I got my cable modem about 3 months ago.

I already had a home network setup using ICS, but after I got the modem i plugged it directly into the uplink port on the hub...

oh yeah the guy saw the hub but did not set me up for multiple IPs hehe.......

So.. after waiting a few days for them to assign me some more IPs it worked great.

Thanks for the great review.

I'm sure that many people considering a cable modem will be helped a LOT by this review.

You are one of the cities my town modeled its high-speed fiber-optic cable network venture after. I hope our story ends as happily. Great review, as always, and with my cable modem it loaded your work in mere seconds. :-)
