I asked this question a while back. I had been driving to friends houses to use their cable connection, while i tried to get cable set up at my new place. I finally had to get dial up. It works fine, just get disconnects often(not to bad. 2 or 3 times in a day, but that's like 3 to 5k hands) You can still multitable successfully, haven't done more then 9 tables though.
