$149 for modem, ethernet card AND installation, and no usage charges...

	I also notice the improvement when I go to Web sites, 
	though even with a cable modem there are sometimes delays
	that are due to other Internet bottlenecks. I live in 
	Palo Alto, California, where my cable company, Cable Coop, 
	offers cable modem service, starting at 500 kilobits per second,
	for $99 a month.
	
	Most other cable companies offer faster service for lower prices. 
	Cox Cable in Orange County, California, for example, charges $44.95 
	a month with a $149 installation charge, which includes the modem,
	the necessary Ethernet card and the service to install the hardware 
	to configure your machine.
