I got the rhythem,
I'll tell you where,,,,
I got disenchanted --> with this story,
It wasn't really the subscriber numbers,
the growth,,,,
it wasn't really that,
I was somewhat disenchanted
seeing the rollout numbers,
I was somewhat disenchanted
after buying this one @ the IPO,
hearing the same story,
over and over,,,,
quarter after quarter,,,,
when can you install the @Home,
"soon"
was always the answer,
"soon" ,,,,
that story got old.....
Sooooooo
I went lookin,
went lookin,
found
the rhythem,
Comparing them to
the rhythem,
don't have an understanding of all this
technical mumbo,
jumbo,
just a really straightforward,
mass market perception,,,,
and i keep thinking,
subscriber numbers,,,,,
when will this little company,
rhythem,,,
reach,
what i consider to be
'critical mass'
when will they reach 90K subscribers,
when will they be as big as @Home was,
March 98,,,,,
I'm thinking,,,
how do they generate 130 dollars from each line,
per month,,,
can that be right,,,
how can that be,,,
it's not price to me,,
i will pay
whatever
to have this stuff,
i will take DSL
i will take @HOME,
i will take anything,,,
it's not about PRICE,,,
and why does Rhythem,,,
I've got the rhythem,
why do they have 3 customers,
with 10,150 lines as such a large
percentage of their biz,,,
why is that,,,
and i'm thinking,,,
what is right,,
or wrong,,
with this biz model,,
and why is @Home so confusing to me,,
what ultimately disenchanted me,
with their biz model,
and it was partially the voting right karma,,
and it was partially the debt,
behind closed doors attitude,
perception,,
and it was partially an overlying,,,
feeling with the cable industry,
going back years,
and the complexity of it all,
and the confusion of it all,
and i know this isn't really clear,
and i know this isn't really sorted,,,,OUT,
and i understand that,,
but that's the way i feel about this very confusing,,,
convoluted story..
I can't handle ahhha telling me i'm an idiot,
i can't handle him saying,
i don't understand,,,
because i'll be the first to admit,
i don't understand,,,
but i've got the rhythem,,,,,,

OT

My last post on this subject. KW, I got right around the same speed for the RR test as the GTE test, and I have a DSL line. I am getting around 500 kbps.

Whatever it is, it is beating the heck out my AOL dial-up. This is s fast as I need, downloading pages is basically instant, and files download in a relative heartbeat, at least for now.

Later.
