There are a few sites probably will not change their hostility toward ATHM and most of them have certain degrees of tie with AOL. Just to list a few: Kevin Prigel of www.streetadvisor.com. I just can't understand why Kevin, as a CEO of a decent company, wants to paint himself into the corner. Anything in AOL's way would be declared as hopeless. Even a big fart out of AOL butt hole would smell good to him. Jim Seymour and a few others in www.thestreet.com. Again this comes with no surprise because they have business deal with AOL. Their view might change because after the merger with TWX, AOL may no longer need them. Maybe helping ATHM with some PR would help TSCM stock price too - it's forming a base longer than ATHM <g>. Remember that Seymour was also on the open access side? But he sounds like he wants to run his popular web site from home by just paying ATHM $44.99 a month. Red Herrings. Now, I don't like TJ either and he is on his way out. But keep questioning ATHM accounting practice makes you feel that it's ATHM who invented the way to deliver earning numbers before charges. And then there are a few others. Basically, I do believe ATHM have its own problems, but these people certainly can't claim they are unbiased. How and why this 128K cap coming from has been intensively discussed over here 10 months ago, and I hope they can understand. I strongly believe the subscription price will drop soon with the cap being raised to 256K or higher. I have installed a NetGear RT311 router at home, the whole purpose is to have some sort of security (and proxy of course) to let me access home from office. I haven't got time to play with the upstream, all I need now is probably only 3K. Don't know how is everybody else's @home doing, but mine is very reliable (did went down once since I started) with pretty good performance. Won't it be great, if ATHM speed up the deployment, they can actually expand to the RoadRunner's territory soon? Yea right! Case would rather hang himself than give the access to ATHM.
