Lets do on topic for a sec:

The heart of the reason we all own ATHM is the assumption that there is huge built up demand for broadband and that people are going to be crawling all over themselves to get to it. The market however has no such faith.

Is this true? Or is it just a "first adopter" syndrome? Is the demand still greater than the supply where @home has already been available for 6 months?

We all all basically internet savvy people by definition. Of *course* we want broadband. What about your neighbor? Your kids best friend?

I want people to do a canvas of the status of demand for @home. Find out how long the wait for install is. Find out *why* people still are not signed up.

We did this kind of thing very thoroughly a year ago. Its time to ask again.

How is @home penetrating established areas?
How is @home doing vs. DSL in areas where they overlap?
Will @home need to lower prices to increase penetration?

etc..
