Hi Guys, Some info...
The cable internet service in Israel is offered in a different way (at least at stage 1) by each company. So it is important to say to which company you are connected. Cable technology is not symmetric, but is asymmetric, and I expect to see very similar packages to DSL (at least from the bandwidth point of view). There is a very important difference in cable, and it is latency. In ADSL it is common to see 30-50ms delays from the home to the ISP. This is due to ADSL modulation and the Bezeq's ATM network. In cable you can expect about 10ms to the ISP, which might be crucial for performance.

I've connected my Linux box which work both as a server/workstation and a router for another box running win. as for the speed, you can UL and DL at the same speed theoreticly ( the same speed limit is for both directions ) that mean that I made some DL and UL with some servers that kept a steady speed transferring 1 Mb in 9-10 sec. as for the future when the number of user will increase I assume the speed will decrease ( it's much like adding more stations on a local net that works on 10Mb cards) as I write this mail I'm DL from iglu at ~100k/s via FTP client running on the win box. -- Yehuda Drori http://whatsup.co.il On Monday 18 March 2002 10:17, Geoffrey S.
