> Chuck & Howard, Thanks so much for the tips and recommendations about my cable connection. I think just to get a feel for the speed and connection I may try the NetStat Live for a while, and then as it appears that Howard did: uninstall it to avoid sucking "up memory usage and cpu cycles", as Chuck mentioned. That is the last thing I need! And I will give the dslreports forum site a try to learn more about this lighting marvel. Thanks to you both.
