Just thought i'd follow up as well with my experience..
i have Wave Cable through Shaw here in scarborough. Shaw uses dynamic
ips, so i do have to run dhcpcd to grab my ip address... naturally with
debian this isn't really a problem, just install the .deb package fro
dhcp.
I have a hub with 2 computers hooked to it, then to the cable modem - Shaw
is charging only $10 more a month for the second IP ... (Total $65 a month
cdn)
Note that not *all* cable operators are the same. While WAVE is a
consortium of Canadian cablecos, the different companies use different
equipment.
Rogers uses Zenith modems, which go about 500k/s.. Shaw uses MOtorola
modems, which go 10mbits upstream, and 768k/s downstream. Quite a *BIG*
difference there.
But with my modem, i can definitely say it makes Linux all the more
enjoyable! :)
