That's ok. Your PC must be running slow. Then again, could be the Coke...

I have Cox @ Home and it is $35 a month, but it was orginally $30 a month. But I also have Cox Cable. Without Cox cable my internet would be $45 a month.

Sometimes if your connections is running like real slow for real long. Just un-plug the cable modem wait a couple of minutes and plug it back in. Works for me a lot.

I'd rather get DSL for the sole purpose of multiplayer gaming.

You can play Multiplayer gaming on Cable. In fact I think that it is easier to play on a cable modem than a DSL. No longing on.

I did have media one but they got bought out by AT&T. Now our rate is $55 a month.

But with cable, to be completely safe, you really need a firewall, and that restricts gameplay a lot. With DSL, you can actually have the Static IP turned off.
