you are apparently well connected.......but as you are saying when can we all afford those speeds? The anwser is: sooner then before! Its getting cheaper by the year. which was my point and direction we are headed. Jeff, The price should be getting less expensive. The local cable ISP has not had a price cut. This is due more to the monopoly issue for this kind of speed in my opinion. The problem is not really the ISP. The majority of the money goes to the cable company and it appears they leave the cost of bandwidth to the ISP. The ISP's only advantage is no need for phone lines and remote access dial-ups. We'll pick this up tomorrow, but I think you covered the bottleneck....We all know how big it is......hopefully ASND will close above $26 on Tuesday! Thats my guess.... I hope ASND closes above 26 too. I need the equity back that I lost on ASND and COMS to pay for my cable access :-) Glenn
