1200 kbps? Ugh. I regularly get 3500+ down on Cox and between 384-512 up.
And BTW, unless you live in Ascension (which I don't) you will never receive FTTH. My friend had it installed at his home in P'ville on Thursday, I need to ask him about it.

My ISP (Eatel) allows me to hang multiple machines off of my DSL connection, so I was hoping to have both a private network and a public network at home. I'm switching my 486 based OpenBSD router with a SOHO hardware router that I'm putting up in my attic in order to cut down on cable runs in my home. So, having 1 box up in my attic serving both the public and private networks would be preferable, but Terry's suggestion will work (hub in between the DSL modem and router). FYI to DSL modem owners: you can increase your bandwidth by decreasing the length of the phone cable between your DSL terminal box on the outside of your house and your DSL modem. In my case, I will see an increase from 577kbps to ~1200kbps by putting the DSL modem just inside my home next to the DSL termination point. John __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
