One thing to remember with cable you share the connection with your neighbors who are on cable for internet access. The more people using the cable at the same time the slower your speed will be. also your computer may show up on someones neighborhood network and you may be able to see other peoples' computers. Be sure you have a good firewall and I would recommend running security checks often to be sure your files are not accessable by tothes.

Cable is supposed to be as fast as it gets, but I live in a rural town (you may know Bullhead City, AZ) and they have been upgrading cable for the past year or so, supposedly my area is completed.
