Crazy. If you think about it, that's faster than the fastest speed that you are currently not paying for....

I wonder if the speed test glitched some how or cable companies are advertising an average shared speed rather than a theoretical maximum that they usually do?

But yeah, that's definitely no problems. I get about 1/3 of that speed (dedicated) and have absolutely no problems watching video. If you experience a bottleneck, it could be on Hulu's end.

You can get a device, I know that "turns" your monitor into a TV and you can watch TV on the computer. About $100 or so. A friend had one and really liked it. But when hubby and I were without cable, we just watched TV shows and movies directly on the computer via high speed modem (which I have to have because I work online at home). There are many sites that offer free movies such as wwitv.com that saving spree mentioned, but also fancast.com and many others. Just search "Free TV Online" to find one you like.
