On the other hand I feel that if it is true that self-install is not feasable I'd say @home will always rank in the world of ISP's not far above where Excite ranks in the world of portals. A well known name- but not the name.

Now you are comparing apples and oranges. We're talking BB here not dial up. If ATHM's MSO partners can't trust self install do you think anyone else can? DSL? Maybe, after the line is tested.

Does anyone else remember how they said there would be an exponential ramp in subscriber rate in early 2000? Then it was mid 2000. Now it's late 2000. Some may even remember back to the days when they thought they'd be able to self install right from the start.

Yes. How about "profitablity by Q4", then "no, not profitablity, but growth", then "well, missed on growth but with the help of self installs...". What's next "no not chello, but ..."
