Re: DOCSIS 3.0 "wideband" Service starting with Twin Cities

Yeah but the power consumption differences make this not such a good idea, let alone the knowledge requirements of running Nix plus a firewall vs a simple SOHO router.

If you want to go crazy you can get a low-power PC like the VIA CPU systems, but that would cost you about as much as a good SOHO router at Best Buy with GigE interfaces. The linux distro doesn't necessarily require a lot of knowledge. Take something like ClarkConnect that you just drop the install CD into the drive and then manage all operational aspects of the box through an HTTPS interface (just like a SOHO router). The nice part is once you buy the hardware the ClarkConnect distro is free for home users.
