Hi all, THANKS for the time and explanations of my Cable query.
> 12) Re: Cable Broadband > by Adam Hewitt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 17) Re: Cable Broadband > by Martin Hill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Adam's explanation was really helpful - there appears to be a high likelihood my existing wireless 4 port ADSL router and network will just plug in to a cable modem with an ethernet cable and need a few tweaks. And Martin's essay was truly breathtaking :-) And here was me thinking the ISP's were trying to confuse us with big numbers! Oh, and thanks for your faith Martin, I DID mean to type 8 bits to a byte, not 6 bits to a byte. Martin, I guess my 11082 (Kbps.) translates to 11.082 Mbps and therefore is a whole lot better than your 1.3Mbps, so by the sound of it I'm pretty well off and should stay quiet and have a nice warm glow of satisfaction! Thanks Bob for the off list comments and searching to try to find answers. So summarising what I have figured out - as far as the net connection goes, I really might as well stay with what I have. The cable costs $59.95 per month and I'll get the same speed, give or take a hot breeze, as what I'm getting on the iinet DSLAM at $39.95 per month. My decisions to switch to Telstra will now rest on the rest of the package, but at least I understand the impact on my Mac centric network. Ta Tim
