[CLUE-Tech] IDSL (was Of Security and Firewalls..)

[Brandon N]

I have a cable modem now, and frankly, compared to even IDSL, it sucks.
 With a cable modem you have 30Mb shared bandwidth for everyone in your
area, so it slows down during the busy times.  You also have a lot less
reliable connection and more hops to get on a backbone.
