cable modem update

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Chuck:

Congrats.

As a general rule, I don't think there's any reason to bring broadband
connections up and down, whether or not they're cable or DSL. Part of
the power of these broadband network technologies is their persistence.
It's not just about speed, in other words. It's really helpful not to
have to constantly go on and off line with all that that can entail.
