Adelphia/Comcast can't even provide me with the baseline, let alone power boost.

I'm lucky if I get 3mbit to somewhere within 500 miles, after that I'm lucky if I get 50kbit to SoCal.

Not on CRAM or whatever yet and the pings are horrid.

:edit:

actually, it's not fiber-optic like i though, but it's explained here: http://www.cablevision.com/index.jhtml?id=2005_11_07

basiclaly you get two simultaneous network streamsof 50Mbps up and down.

can we say neighborhood network?

personally 50/50 sounds amazing and all, but i can see it being wirelessly split between neighbors sharing the cost, and there would be little to nothing OOL could do about it because to them it'll just look like a home network.
