routing/DNS

[Robert Dege]

You're thinking RG6 cabling.  RG59 degrades the signal significantly (as
per Adelphia).  Well, the longer the distance on the RG59, the worse the
signal.  They even suggest RG6 for TVs, for their digital output and
generic TV signal strength.

heh.  If it weren't for Adelphia, I wouldn't need to know this ;)  But
it's good to know.
