Indeed -- in the block of flats I live in, three out of eight (that I know

off) are wired with cable modems.


There's me and my flatmate, running a LAN, ftp server, webcam and shoutcast

station.


There's our next door neighbours, doing likewise (minus the webcam)


And there's the *really* geeky guy on the ground floor who doesn't so much

have a wardrobe, as a server room!  (Seriously -- about 3 Sun servers

running Linux, and a couple of PCs -- The MIT Flea Market is a wonderful

thing!)


After about 10pm, once we're all back from work, the difference in speed is

quite noticable.


(So I download all my pr0n at lunchtime)
