I'd like to add my own ahmen to that sentiment (Bandwidth boom? phooey!). Lots of hot air from execs trying to extend the IPO boom and stave off a riot in AOL, yahoo, amzn shareholders. They oughta get drug tested. Random web browsing will be pokey, at best, for a long while. Nowdays it is more reliable to get stock quotes from SI than from yahoo. And get a 5-minute graph from fast quote on a hot trading day? forget it. Maybe you folks in California don't get the bottlenecks I get from the East coast. I'm not sure now whether the POP's are much at fault anymore. 1/2 the time the user will just not want to bother with it. I thought my IBM connection was funky and I cancelled it, then I found out my modem was somehow magically sharing the same IRQ as the mouse. The I-net connection didn't deserve a $21/mo charge, anyway, as all services (on web) are too slow when they were needed. Now web pages are acquiring the same type of bloat we've seen in software - just when you upgrade enough to view them they tack more stuff ("its only a few more seconds") and we now get a visual barrage of chatter and advertisements while searching for anything.
