Uh, Budd, DSL and cable are two different things. You have one or the other.

Holy CRAP!!! It worked!! I was at a carnival the other day, and for the hell of it, put a dollar into the 'Zoltar' machine.

:^)

Yeah, but Budd's also into the whole hybrid thing...

Ya better get your money back then.

Thanks, Tom.

It's sure nice to download 15 Mb in 15 minutes rather than close to 4 hours!!!

But they don't offer a news server so it's Google groups until I find a good free server.

Let's take a look, Joe . . . .

The Ethernet port on the PC is plugged into the cable modem, the Ethernet to cable modem, thru bandpass filters, is connected to the big silvery wire thingy on the big tall wooden fence post in the neighbors's yard and then it goes out of sight in both directions, but I'm told it goes to the company that supplies my cable TV, Precis Communications up in Price UT.

So, I have both, cable and DSL and they come into my home on the same

I told you to only play the ring toss . . .you stand a better chance with it of getting a prize.

I just ordered what Precis Communications, the local cable entity, advertised it to be.

You probably have cable internet, Budd... DSL is dependent on a phone line and is usually 1/3 to 1/2 the speed of cable..

I've been on cable for about 5 years now and would never give it up, even if I didn't need it for work... I had to use the (yuk) modem in my laptop the other day and it was like trying to swim through Jello, compared to "broadband"...

BTW: welcome to broadband... you'll love it!

I believe the difference is this. Cable Internet is through cable TV lines. DSL is through digital phone lines.

Budd, both mac and miles answered your question correctly. You have cable.

Budd, try this in your news client: news.aioe.org

It's a freebie with text-only groups. Not the fastest thing around, but the price is reasonable.

Please indicate exactly what cable modem or cable company uses band pass filters.

Like Tom said, if you are connecting your modem through a telephone jack, then you have a DSL modem and if it is connected by a coax connection, then it is a cable modem. Where exactly are those band pass filters connected. That sounds a lot like a DSL setup if they are connected to your telephones.
