Yeah... but you _STILL_ can't get that large a router port for that little money, and you never will. Bandwidth is what costs money, not copper.I was just saying how you could lower the cost of the ADSL loop from around $150 to $30, with both you would need to supply the IP. The idea would be that you would not just use the port for internet traffice. You would provide voice services, you would provice VOD (video on demand), and cable services (using something like I Magic TV).
Oh yeah, I got that, Nathan. It's just that I get miffed when people keep going on (don't take this personal) about how cool it is that I can get my loop down from $300 to $150... when my router port is still $1800. Nice, yeah, but not what people mean when they blather about "cheap bandwidth". If it's _that_ cheap, it's running under completely different assumptions than a standard T-1; viz: cable modems. And now for something completely different. Anyone need a wireless T-1? http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=47936641 Cheers, -- jr 'got a bunch of 5251 cards, too' a -- Jay R.
