Ketayun, I have a cable modem as well and I highly recommend it. If your
cable company is offering cable internet access at all, I guarantee you
their system is offering "two way traffic." I don't know of any cable
providers (Cablevision, MediaOne, Roadrunner, etc.) that offer downloads
only.
The data flow direction is still an issue with a lot of satellite internet
connections, however. You're still required to have a phone modem and your
upload speed will still be very slow. As far as I'm concerned, cable modems
leave satellite connections in the dust.
