It's Fremont. Today I just got my @Home installed. It's blazing fast. A download of 16M file took 3 minutes at 800Kbps(0.8Mpbs). Close to 1Mpbs! Fast enough for me. The speed is at least 16 times faster than the best dialup speed of 56Kpbs. Visiting every web sites seem to be instant. No annoying download delay anymore. However the installation took a little longer than expected. 2 guys came to house at 9:00am and it took them 3 hours to finish. The most time consuming part is to install the network card and its drivers. First, the Win 95 was having some problem detecting the 3COM card in the PCI slot. They switched to an Intel card and it went right up. Then they spend quite a while figuring out the right IRQ settings. After the hardware is setup, they couldn't bring up Netscape. Then they took the effort to clean up my registry setting and disk. Finally everything came up. Now I am surfing around happily. I used to have tremenduous trouble getting to the sites in Asia, China for example. Now I can get there without unbearable delays. I would not say it is very fast to go to China now. But at least the browser can open the page after couple of seconds. With my AOL access, the browser always time out on those remote sites, it's next to impossible to surf there. Surfing the US sites are now a breeze. So fast that every that every US site that I pointed to came up instantly. In contrary, the AOL access takes on average 5-10 second to open up any pages. Anyone who experienced @Home will never go back to AOL.
