Re: USA Broadband Stats - ExciteAtHome(sym:ATHM) Subs

Thread- IF(key word) this is accurate, and ExciteAtHome is counting strictly cable modem subs, then apparently my figures(linked url above 8070) are substantially underestimating CM subs for year end 2000. The current subs counted by ATHM and Roadrunner, seem to somewhat correlate with the figures linked above.

Funny the article didn't even mention the third high speed CM ISP, High Speed Access(sym:HSAC). -MikeM(From Florida)

ExciteAtHome Subscribers Surpass 2 Million Mark

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.- Internet service provider ExciteAtHome Corp. said Wednesday it has surpassed the 2 million-subscriber mark for its high-speed, always-on home service.

The figure excludes subscribers contributed by Excite Chello, a venture formed in July with Netherlands-based high-speed ISP chello broadband.

``ExciteAtHome has been and continues to be the leader in terms of U.S. subscribers,'' said Dylan Brooks, an analyst at Jupiter Communications, noting that of the two million subscribers about 1.5 million were in the U.S. ``Road Runner (the venture in which Time Warner Inc has a stake) has about a million subscribers in the U.S. and beyond that it drops off steeply to DSL (digital subscriber line) providers such as Prodigy Communications Corp.''

The company believes the subscriber growth will only climb as broadband, which offers high-speed Internet access to rich and interactive data, gains more acceptance in the U.S.

Analysts predict that the there will be 13 million broadband users by the end of 2002, according to research firm eMarketer.

ExciteAtHome continues to target three million total subscribers by year end 2000, excluding subscribers to be added through the Excite Chello transaction.
