Mike said: This is the concept I am worried about: I have a choice of the up and coming ATHM at $40 a month or I can get the wildly popular Aol for $22.95!!!! Call me foolish, but I think most folks will choose AOL. Mike, You couldn't be more wrong. Have you read the reports about folks who have gone to a cable modem who say they could never go back to dial up? The major thing holding ATHM back is that it isn't available everywhere (yet). When it is it will truly change the internet for the better. I would compare (for the layman) dial up to a 9" black and white TV with bad vertical hold, defective bunny ears atennae and three channels to cable modems which would be my 35" 75 channel Sony Trinitron TV. There is no going back. Once the AOL folks see the difference they will go with the speed regardless of who provides the content. Another thing to consider is that once cable becomes more popular more web designers will create their sites for broadband access. Dial up will be the equivalent of running DOS in a Windows 98 world.
