Ah, yes, back on topic for poor Tim for a moment <G>

It used to be  Charter, now they are Wave Broadband. Its a business
account, 2 year agreement, 1.5M up, 6 or 8 or something down (the
contract is fot 1.5M down, but they've increased that over the 3 years
I've had it). 1 Static IP. $72/mo (extra static IPs are an outrageous
$15 each).

I don't have Cable TV, I use DishNetwork for that.
