Then again anyone trying t run semi-critical stuff on cable modem is crazy ... Soneone did bring up a point about at least getting two different copper pairs as that was the most common problem. I can't agree or disagree (I don't know why DSL fails most commonly). In many markets it's possible to get a frame or point-to-point T1 or fractional T1 for a discount price but you do have to ship around.
