Really ? That's interesting. I see 100k real speed on a terayon cable 
modem (128 k connection). How much faster can one go ? Considering all the 
dumb arp traffic on the cable, I'd say you can't go faster. Of course I 
don't know about Rogers. Maybe they have more switches. It would be 
interesting to know how much speed one can gain by switching modems ?

tia,
