X/5 downstream)? Yes, it is asymmetric. Here are their 3 packages. Up to 5 Mbps/2 Mbps Up to 15 Mbps/2 Mbps Up to 30 Mbps/5 Mbps WRT: VoIP. We found that one of the clients in our office (we are in a Regus shared office), was using VoIP with conference calling that would really tie up the bandwidth. Fortunately, the office manager was able to move them to a different segment. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf at blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9
