Approximately 8 times faster at best.

ISDN = 64Kbit/sec
Cable modem = upto 512Kbit/sec

512 / 64 = 8

At least I think that's how it works out...

Does the Sony modem have 56k as well as broadband?
Looking at the pictures there are 2 sockets, 1 is for the broadband the other looks like a standard 56k modem socket.

Yes - one is a 56k analogue modem socket, the other is an Ethernet connector for cable modems.

I heard it does have 56k capabilities but I'm not certain!

Exhalent, I can play my PS2 online without ADSL/Cable Modem. Although by the time the modem is out I will probably have ADSL.

HDD £100
Internet £40
End of 2001.

These are all unconfirmed maybes, so don`t take it as certain. However, I feel it is likely.

That means that in total a PS2 really costs £440 making it the most expensive next-gen console, I,m not gonna get any of these extras if they cost this much. Instead I'm gonna get the xbox which has all of these for £300.

I dont know if ADSL will be supported as the connections are the 56k and broadband(Cable). ADSL and Cable operate differentally I think.
