I am getting ready to sign up for a cable service with fiber optics, internet service only.
What is the difference in 3-meg x 384 [ $ 49.99-p/m ] and 5-meg x 512 [ cable modem ] [ $ 59.99-p/m ] ? I don't play games on my computer. but I would like to get better streaming video. I've been using Hughes satilite service for 5-years, since we did not have any high speed service in my area, just dial up. Their service is up and down, sometimes as slow as dial up.
Please advise,
Thanks,
Carl

Those refer to the rated speed of the connection you're paying for. Usually, the first number is download speed, and the second upload. Bigger numbers are better.

------------------------------ Which Chip? Well, it depends on which set of thieving b@stardz you choose to support: The ones who use insider trading to enrich themselves while running their company into the ground, or the ones who illegally pay vendors to not support the first group.

Well, if you are not older than 71-years, then I may be the younger man.
I live in Winnsboro, South Carolina, [ USA ] Where do you reside?
