What are these 'modems' people speak of??? hehe, my consolations to those that use them.
I currently split a roadrunner (cable) connection with 9 others with a router, and it's pretty fast. Last year I had a T1 or T3 in my dorm (very fast either way). At home in MA my little town of 10000 people finally got cable within the last year, so my family has that. I recently read an article (i think in USA today) about how there are certain companies who think wiring the entire country for high-speed internet should be a national priority, and that the government should be involved with it. There are senators who are backing these proposals as well. It was pretty interesting, I wish I remembered more of it. It is actually quite possible that doing so would do a lot for the economy and the USA's technological progress.
