Funny thing is I actually have a lot of respect for the Motley Fools in general. They dont pretend to know any more than they know, yet somehow they seem to know something big even though they dont understand why.
They timed entry into ATHM extremely well, though of course their entry helped spark the buzz that we know today. There was a time when everyone thought @home was an overpriced overhyped flop in the making.
You inspired me to do the actual calculation: To fill 100gig of data with a 56k (actually 40-50k typical) it would approach a full year of uninterrupted connection. How long with @home running 1.5meg? 8 days. In a system thats naturally 24/7 anyway. Thats perspective.
