[kwlug-disc] Im looking for a 100 meg connection

[Colin K]

Can you bond Cable?

I really dont want any of that Asymetric stuff.  I need a good connection
for my home because I have to share my connection with 5 others and a
minecraft server that I wish to just run from home I figure it would be
much cheaper to host from home but a colo would be great but less sure to
break even on my investment.
