  Thanks to all who responsed to my posting.
I share the concern about being a considerate bandwidth consumer.

However, still have a few questions, especially regarding specific
experience with TCI in my area.  If you know anyone with similar
service, I would like to hear about it - probably more bad than good, I
imagine.

About hosting my web server, its strictly vanity pages, ActiveX
components, and shareware that I'm developing. Small highly optimized
pages under 10K.  -especially with HTTP1.1 compression, my bandwidth
consumption should be minimal. No warez, MP3s etc - there are enough of
those around.

Q: Alex R: what are typical download, upload, ping speeds for Wheeling?
Anyone right by my neighborhood with empirical numbers for recent dates?

Steve S, Ron K - do you chaps know how TCI @Home splits the 128kbps
pipe? Is it different for M1, TCI, Comcast, RoadRunner etc? Also,
doesn't ATT basically own part of all the cable modem providers now?
Quite a monopoly, unlike the emerging DSL reseller market.

Regards,
adoh
