Yeah, in theory, that would be correct, but that's not including overheads, which degredate the signal through the telephony wiring, dependant on both the distance and nature of the equipment installed at your nearest exchange and quality of the wiring which enters the property.

Either way, if the product is advertised as a 9mbit connection, then it's all good, your getting more bang for your buck

cool. Looking forward to downloading it.

Cable is not susceptible to the bullshit you are referring to that DSL is.

edit//just to clarify, I am not saying your reasoning has no merit, but cable is totally different than DSL. I worked with cable as I worked for a cable company. I can tell you most of the inner workings of pretty much every company in the world. The only things I won't know are each companies CMTS setups and what brand of equipment they use.

My bad sorry, I had it in my head that you were on DSL from a few posts ago, but you just mentioned you had used it at one point, not have it at the moment.

Yeah, your right, in comparison to DSL, Cable doesn't lose much in data transfer due to the material used amongst other reasons.

It has nothing to do with the material used. It has to do with the design of the networks. They are mostly in a hybrid star-bus topology. As the signal degrades, they catch it at the end of it's most effective point, and then amplify it. This keeps the signal basically the same throughout the whole system with not a whole lot of variation. Although heat does affect the signal, this is taken into account and the modems are tuned accordingly.

Also the reason cable networks were "slow" when lots of users were on at first, was because in each node they had too many users. Once the technology took off they changed their practices and lowered the number of users per node. Whether all users on that node had cable internet had no effect as each node was specifically mapped out to give each node the proper number of users.

Gotcha, we did a little on network types and topologies in a course at uni long long ago, but we didn't cover much on the difference between both Cable connections and DSL types.

Thanks for that useful info
