  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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

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.
