So my feeling is that this doesn't make one bit of differnce. That most of
us are limiting bandwidth to less than 512K anyway. If we aren't, and
trying to provide some kind of T1-equivelent service... then you wouldn't be
using a USB device anyway.
Maybe this will be an issue in 5 years, but it will be an issue for anyone
using USB. Not just TC users. I have an Alcatel USB for DSL here at home.
I sure enjoyed plugging & playing (this time).
