1 million users attempt self install and fail

Why should they fail? You plug in the networking card, plug in the modem, run some software and you are in. Big deal.

Add in a USB modem or a preconfigured PC and its even simpler.

Sure, some people will have problems. They end up on a waiting list for service just like they are now. The list will be *shorter* because of the # of people who are managing to do it themselves.

50+ million people have self installed dial up modems. They figure it out. AOL has self install DSL. Optimum has self install cable. Where's @home?
