Don't forget that between your port on your DSL/Cable modem and the actual port they may be monitoring there could be transitions through various protocols that can chew up bandwidth with framing bits and whatnot. See: http://www.yourdictionary.com/cell-tax as an example. This can, in worse but common cases, be as much as one fifth of the bandwidth. -- Joe Hamelin, W7COM, Tulalip, WA, 360-474-7474
