Amie,

I am in Northern CA and I have AT&T's cable modem. It's pretty fast and has been real reliable so far. Go to their web site and see if it's available in your area.

Here's the link: http://www.att.com/

God bless

I did not know T4 existed but that is fast big time.

Aimie, I have a friend that lives in Marina Del Rey, she has ATT cable modem. I am in Illinois, and also have ATT. It has been great! Fast downloads. I have AOL IM so I got rid of AOL as my IP.

What's this ATT cablemodem you all keep referring to? I checked the ATT site... the ONLY thing they offer is Broadband internet (asdl?), which isn't available at Aimie's address (trust me, I checked; it ain't).

Has anyone there heard of Aurora cable?

Marcel,

The 'broadband' you referred to is the cable system. It is part of AT&T's cable television network. We get our cable internet and cable television on the same line.

Umm, no. 

~45M bit per second not 45M Byte per second. (8 bit = 1 byte)

1 Meg file = 8 M bit but then you have to add TCP overhead + IP overhead + ... + the bottle necks on the rest of the internet. 

But still fast 

Just because your pipe to the access point is bigger doesn't mean that the rest of the internet is too.
