Um , HELL YES !!
Can you still get AOL?
If you want , AOL has "Bring your own ISP" and it is like $10 a month .

Well ,that is true , the speed at which you can download depends on how
fast the server on the other end can give it to you . Fortunately , most
big guys have them hooked to a T-1 or better , so they can really pump it
out .
I have hit a maximum download speed on mine of 1700kbps .
I am a project manager for Charter Pipeline (Charter Communications
Internet Cable Modem Service) here at our local office .
If you have any questions at all , just ask .
Cable is the way of the future as far as the Internet is concerned .
