If he has speed problems, it'll probably be because the back end doesn't have enough speed to support all of the nodes, not problems at the neighborhood level. If you read some other threads about average bandwith usage, you'd be *astonished* how little bandwidth a group of average people typically soak up. I've read several claims of *hundreds* of ACTIVE, residential BROADBAND customers run off a pair of *T1*s, who "rarely max them out". That in mind, I truly fear the day when something like the Olympics is broadcast with streaming media. It would crumble companies relying on this "typical usage" scenario. -- Rob
