    If you're trying to get the latest games/apps, IRC is usually for me the fastest way to get them. Most of the bots hit an upwards of 150-200KB/s, so it doesn't take that long. Don't use mIRC by the way for IRC, it's not very good. Games and stuff seems to take longer to get sharing on FastTrack, but it's the best p2p proggie for music and movies.

    my cable is great

    i get generally good speeds... not always what i want, but it is fairly fast.

    i don't think i will change for a long time.

    cable modems are good when you download things from the web. when downloading from the web, your speeds fairly can reach 100k and higher. when downloading from a person who uses 56k speeds will drop because you can only send as much information as much as the other side can handle depending on their speeds. you want higher speeds, you need to download from people who use cable or higher. plus, having cable works great on network gaming if you play games such as , CS, tfc and NS and other ones...

    cable has great benfits, only depends on how you use them. on kazaa, thats a different story

    there is a number of reason you may geting slow speed including connecting to 56k's like me.

    your computer might not be config right or your line may a fault

    try these sites that test your speed and get back to us with the results

    newb, drunkinmonk, the only reason you bag on mIRC is cause u don't know how to use it....

    i dunnno about you, but i get alot of my stuff off of IRC, like someone earlier said, you can find selective stuff and new releases of things that aren't on kazaa......

    Have you ever even used IRC? It's not mIRC btw, mIRC is just a program to access IRC, a bad one at that. I do use Kazaa, it's great, but it doesn't have a very good software/game selection, and if they do have it, not many people have it and it's kinda slow. IRC is wicked fast off of bots, and I don't see any reason not to use it...

    Why have cable you ask? Because it's like lightning. I get 3.5-4 mbps personnally. And it's cheaper than dsl here. Now if we could only them to raise the upload speeds a bit.
