Really? Most satellites have 36MHz transponders, some newer ones have 54Mhz on-board. That's not enough to support millions of users simultaneously. Maybe I am missing something fundamental. I have AOL stock but I think AOL must stay focused and pick its battle. AOL's biggest enemy is MSFT.

DSL: IT's AWESOME! For those who say it's too far away, you're dead wrong. I moved to a new community in the south recently, and within five days I had a 384k up/384k down ADSL line installed and fully functional in my new house. IT's incredible. Great service, no internet traffic to slow me down - great service and never had any problems with setup or functionality - which for anyone who's into computers - is almost unheard of when setting something up on computers. Smooth as silk and happy with the service. ADSL was QUITE easy, QUITE available and worth EVERY penny... GO ADSL!!! B
