That sounds nice. Here in the land of .AU, where any decent sized link is expensive (ISDN is a rip-off here), the cable company (one at present) wants you to buy the modem outright, for about $500 AU (pretty close to $500 CDN I think). Fortunately they do rent out the set top boxes for the television signal. > Prices around here are about 40$/mo cdn for a 24/7 dynamic IP, severs are > generally forbidden by the providers, etc. Cable modem here is $65/mo I think, including 100mb traffic, then it's *** 35c/mb! *** ISDN is about $70/month rental, with timed local calls; costs a small fortune for a semi-permanent connection.
