I also have @Home service and it's been great...Since I am renting the place I live in, it's what is keeping me from moving.. :) Here's an article that I saw... -------------- Small appetite for cable modems A recent survey by market researcher Yankee Group found that nearly two-thirds of all on-line homes want faster access to the Internet, with over half specifically interested in cable modem service. But the number of consumers who are willing to pay for faster access is much smaller, the study found. According to the of 1,900 U.S. households, about one-sixth of them currently have access to the Internet through a proprietary on-line service or dedicated Internet Service Provider. While 66 percent expressed interest in receiving some type of faster service, only 7 percent of current subscribers said they were "very interested" in a service providing unlimited access for $40 per month. When asked specifically about cable modems, 52 percent expressed general interest, but just 4 percent were "very interested" at the $40-per-month price point. Bruce Leichtman, director of the Yankee Group's Media and Entertainment Strategies Group said, "The real challenge for the cable industry will be to make the product available to more homes, and to convince more consumers that it's worth the cost."

It's 07:30 PST. Market is up 68. Msft is up 1. IBM is up 2 1/2. ATHM is up 5/8. Shorts don't care. Wall Street don't care. DSL issues are up stronger. Who wants a company with no revenues? Just keep saying to yourself, "The stock market discounts the future". Looks like the experts have determined the "news" isn't very significant. Here is the grestest buying opportunity of all time and nobody cares. This is why trading and options are lunacy and Wall Street is only a used car dealership. Unfortunately you have to go there to get the goods, but next time you are elated because some analyst, or brokerage, or newspaper, or letter writer, or fool, recommends your play, remember that you bought it used.
