Joe six pack hasn't stood up yet and demanded his @Home service....but don't worry, he will

Of that I am absolutely certain. The question is when. The more time that passes the more alternatives there are to @home. BB internet is a massive land grab. ATHM needs to be grabbing with all their might. They are too complacent in the inevitability of it all.

My best guess is 1.5 million people wake up in November and swear off their dialup connection and then all hell breaks loose to get them hooked up.

You wanna do the calculations what it would take to hook up 1.5 million people in two months without self-install? Yikes.

Broadband is a luxury right now
Only till you use it. Then its a necessity.
Someday the "luxury" mentality is going to change. We all know it. Again it's simply a matter of timing. The sooner BB is the accepted norm in our society the better. We need critical mass.
