"but the bottom line is, internet lag slows either cable or DSL to
a snail's pace, so does it matter how much faster one is from the other, when lag hits?"

This is why proprietary content will be vital in the early BB stages. With @HOME's page, you get direct links to sites designed with Multi media and broadband in mind. In the early stages of BB the majority of the content will be located or offered from the ISP's BB home page. This is positive for BB providers, because it glues the eyeballs to your site even longer than with normal dial up.

Look for AOL to provide a plethora of its own BB content, on fast servers so that the user will achieve the full BB experience.
