I'm buying @HOME service through my local cable company TCI as it becomes available in my DFW TX area 12/30/98.

$50 installation which includes the modem/ethernet card (which I have to give back when I drop the service - IF I ever do drop it)...

and pay $39.99 a month for the service. that's it.
24hour tech support... avg download about 4MB per sec. They said average upload time about 256K sec.

I can handle that. They said they offer cable TV separately and I opted to NOT get cable tv which would have been extra.

So all in all, I'm going to pay just about twice what I'm paying for a 33.6k dialup ISP now. and get a billion million times faster connections.

anyway, I didn't even know ATHM was "@HOME"... found this by accident thought I'd share that this is becoming a frenzy here in DFW.

this weekend COMPUSA in Arlington had TCI out onsite to demonstrate and there were about 75people or more surrounding 2 or 3 salesman and practically NO ONE even cared to see the PCs or the modem.. we were all grabbing the software and the applications.

no I don't own stock here... don't plan to... but you never know, maybe this might be one for my 401k. Best wishes to everyone this merry holiday season. Money isn't worth much, remember it's those that you love and those that love you back that matter and money will always fall short. :)
