I have Comcast's cable service, and minus the recent DNS cache poisoning problem, the service has been very good. It is both reliable and reasonably priced. When I signed up for it, it was $20/month for the first 6 months, then I believe it goes to $47/month. This is for 3Mb/s down, 256Kb/s up service. ./muk -- m. kolb <[log in to unmask]>
