Let me answer this.As you can see,i'm from Holland too,and i am using a cable modem(chello).It's so much faster than a regular modem,for example,i've downloaded files with more than 200kb/s.You're phoneline is not occupied,no more "inbellen"(sorry,don't know the english word).
About loss of connection,it sometimes happens.Happened to me only once,couldn't use it for about 2 hours.But you've still got your regular modem to use.I'm very satisfied with it [img]smile.gif[/img] ,no high phonebills,you know how much you have to pay at the end of the month.
I can certainly recommend it
