Well, as I work for GCI :} I can tell you that no matter which cable modem package
you get, the most bandwidth you can get is 20gigs/month. The problem runs into this
if you d/l 21gigs or higher, it will cost you an extra $20/gig. I also know that I am
about to run into this problem myself as it's only the 19th, and I am up to 19.7 gigs :}
But a cable modem is a good thing if you are looking for a static ip as you can have at
least up to 8 static ips for the modem. I know for a fact that it will support up to
8 dynamic ips per modem. I hope that this will help you out some, considering I don't
know how much per month you d/l. I do kinda wish that I had ACS's dsl service for my
d/ling, and the cable modem for my server, but I don't have that much money :}
