I remember some talk about cable modems on this board recently and thought this was a good example of how fast it is. I just downloaded the latest version of Internet Explorer. With a dial up modem with a speed of 28.8 it would of taken 2 1/2 hours and with the cable modem it took just under 10 minutes from start to finish. If anyone is thinking about a cable modem, I would highly reccomend it.
