I don't think cable modems are like ADSL modems in the sense that ADSL modems have limits.

Arn't cable modems just like network cards? That's all cable is, a network.

I'm pretty sure cable modems can handle up to 100Mb without problems.

As for the set top box problem, i fucking hate STB, its a pain in the arse, especially when you have to keep rebooting it all the time cos you got no internet

That's why i pulled a crafty one, i went with BT for the phone, Sky for the TV, and NTL for broadband, meaning i get a proper modem

Ok, so it might cost more P/M but its the best setup


Dones some more research

Apparently the upgrades don't officially start till the 5th of december, people who were upgrade before were, erm....guineepigs in a pilot scheme apparently, probably to see if the hubs could handle it

So, 2 days to go I can't wait to tell the truth, X-Box 360 on 10Mbits is going to be bloody awesome
