Yes, I agree with ACIDDRIVE (Whom I Know personally) - I use the same connection he uses - and I'm in a town a bit smaller than his (mainly with a bunch of old folks that don't even know what a computer is) - I think there are only about 10 other's on my gateway - maybe less. I have a main computer - a cisco switch router - and a laptop that I run all on the same cable connection - I have no speed dropoff at all with both computers hooked up. I also remote desktop in - not the fastest connection when remoting in - but it works.

I've seen ACIDDRIVE's setup often - and can verify what he speaks of - no speed dropoff for just a few computers.
