That works out fine if your not on the net much. If your are your tying up a phone line which many don't want to do. So when it comes time to get the second phone line and @Home is in your area why would anyone not sign up? What is PacBell.Net? DSL? They say its a "little" slower, must be some form of broadband. They said they can live with their PacBell.Net connection although it's a little bit slower. But they don't mind the slowness to save 20 bucks.

If someone considers $40/month is high price, he should consider $20/month high price too. Why doesn't he go to NetZero for $0/month? I am saying that NetZero, dial-up ISP, cable ISP will co-exist, just like there are Hyundai, Toyota and Mercedez in car industry. Everybody has its own customer. Do you think it is reasonable for Mercedez to lower the price in order to jack up market share? No. The first thing first is to get the product available wherever there is a demand. It is wrong for ATHM to focus on these price-sensitive people. I believe the right target for ATHM is the people paying $80/month for 144K->256K DSL ( like Covad here in Seattle area ). Don't bark the wrong tree, ATHM. Larry
