Well maybe this will make a few want to sell:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070509/ap_on_hi_te/fast_cable_modem

Comcast Corp. Chief Executive Brian Roberts dazzled a cable industry 
audience Tuesday, showing off for the first time in public new 
technology that enabled a data download speed of 150 megabits per 
second, or roughly 25 times faster than today's standard cable modems.


The cost of modems that would support the technology, called channel 
bonding, is not that dissimilar to modems today, he told The 
Associated Press after a demonstration at The Cable Show. It could be 
available within less than a couple years, he said.


Personaly, I think this is premature hype.

I had heard about this quite some time ago, although that could have been in 
the design stage and now we're in the testing stage.
