modem at 26.4? Well that is really slow, and old?

I do not deal with satellite services.  I had the choice of DSL or Cable 
Modem for broadband access.  I choose Cable Modem since I am getting TV, 
Digital Phone, and Broadband access in one package.  If I used DSL, I 
would have had to deal with two companies vying for the services.  The 
DSL company offers Phone, DSL, and Satellite TV.

My upload speeds are about 2 to 3 times standard modem speeds, so 
uploading/sending large files can be a long process.  The DVDs take over 
5 hours to upload [each] to the web site and every time a new version 
comes out, I have to do at least 1.3 GB of uploading.
