I forsee a future where the $40 will only get you 1 mbit. John W.

My local cable provider (COX) just started advertising their "premium" service. Currently service is ~$40 for 3 mbit/sec bandwidth. The "premium" service is ~$80 for 4 mbit/sec bandwidth. Who came up with that pricing model? Completely rhetorical in my case, but who would pay 100% more money for a 33% increase in service? Mark -----Original Message----- From: John W.

I have scanned using netstumbler and all is deathly quiet around me. Because of my location, I am on a cable leg with virtually no other web users. I get almost 5 mbit/sec bandwidth. 8-)) John W.

Colby [mailto:jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com] Sent: 28 July 2004 16:17 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] Using 2 WAN routers Does anyone know if it is possible to use two WAN routers. I have an old 802.11B router and want to get a new 802.11g router. It would be nice to set up both and have the wife's laptop (using the B protocol) use the existing router and my laptop (using the G protocol) use the new router. I know that you can specify the channel number at the router, but can you nail down the channel number at the receiving end? IOW force the old laptop to use channel 9 and my laptop to use channel 2 (or something like that). John W.
