On security, I found that I was attacked by more than 10 people just around
1 week after I installed BlackICE. It is probably around 2-3 times per
night, more frequent in the weekend. I can see their domain names, IP
addresses, but what can I do about it? Can I counter-attack them? Or, at
least be able to inform them that I know what they're doing? BTW, I'm on
cable. I too have noticed bandwidth problem or problems to log on once a
while around 8-10pm. After that, it seems always fast. I can download at
155K/sec on a few sites. Most good ones average at 50K/sec. (It's not fast
as their commercial: one mississippi, two mississippi,... though.)

Speed-wise, I don't think you can have that speed with basic service on
ADSL. My friend can only download at 20K/Sec with ADSL. If I can figure out
security issues, I'd prefer cable.
