Yes... even with a high speed cable modem.. if the site is not running on a high speed network (they too could be connected via modem!), then you will only d/l at that speed. If you run into ANY business where d/l's are taking a long time, I wouldn't visit them again. Probably a home shop that's running off a home PC.. not really a solid businsess choice.

I just can't imagine doing anything online with a modem anylonger... I hope you do get that high speed connection realll sooon.. Good luck!
