"Only two days ago, ATHM released its subscribers data which shows it has trouble signing up new subscribers"

Not sure where you come to this conclusion... @HOME is on target to exceed 1mil subs by the end of the year. Also, the trouble is not "signing up" new subscribers. The trouble is most cable co's currently do not have the adequate staff to handle all the install requests. TCI announced it will be hiring something like 1800 people specifically to handle installs.

Installs are @HOME's problem, not demand. When installs become easier (and they will) @HOME's largest hurdle will be gone

PS I applaud AOL's numbers too. I am long on both AOL and @HOME. AOL for the "newbie" net user and @HOME for the more experienced and affluent.
