I tried SBC, and ranted on this list about how much they sucked. But if
you are a email/web user only, then it may be sufficient for you.
Comcast is by far the better all around choice if you are a subscriber
to Comcast Cable for TV. If not, the extra money for Broadband is a
little prohibitive to many.

All cable modems are cable modems. Cable referring to cable TV. You
can use 2 modems at the same time, but you need special software or
hardware to take advantage. I think winXP can take advantage by default
if you config it, so can linux.
