Yup -- actually I heard 4 ethernets over a 6MHz cable channel.
But I was disappointed with the pricing. 100$/month for metro access (read
other CCTV customers) 125$ for internet access. However, this is just
for ONE computer in your home. If you have a little subnet running at
home (now -- let's see now, how many of us are there), the price jumps
to 1K$/month for routing stuff.
