I have to agree.  I've been real suspicious of the cable modem thing, at
least as far as Multimedia's implementation of it. They have no competition
in this marketplace and they've clearly been soaking us for cable TV service
because of it.  Some of my friends have been real excited about it, but I'd
rather wait and see.

Besides that, generally anything that sounds too good to be true, is.
