[Tfug] why not cable?

[Brian Masur]

I guess the next time I move will be a little out of the city where comcast 
offers service as they don't seem to have any such restrictions.  I rarely 
have less than two simultaneous connections running so it's kind of a moot 
point for one connection to not be able to fill up all of the available 
bandwidth.
