Just how much bandwidth are those cables capable of carrying? I've always wondered: is every cable channel coming to my house simultaneously, plus all this broadband traffic? I seem to recall hearing the number "155 megabit" sometime. Are they using most of it? It seems like when they planned cable television in the 1970's they sure planned in a whole heck of a lot of capacity. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
