The cut for @home is 35% of the basic service charge , but there are other revenue streams .
Question when @home said they would be in 19 major markets did they mean cities or cable markets . As of now I believe they are in 8 or 9 cable markets ei. Shaw , Cox , Tci ect.

P.S> If you talk to customer servive ask how long till you can hook up @Home to your TV.

Melissa,

You said:
I haven't gotten this service yet because I was told there are no modems available for laptops.

The cable modem doesn't go inside your laptop <yet!>.
But it will work! All you need is a PCMCIA slot and a NIC card.
You connect the NIC to the Cable Modem via RJ45 twisted pair cable (~$5). If you don't have a PCMCIA slot, there are NIC cards that connect to your parrallel port. Although the PCMCIA would be preferred. Jump on it!!! It's great!

ATHM Hyper Typer.

You should be able to use the service even if you have a laptop. Most cable modems have a 10baseT interface (standard twisted pair Ethernet), so if you can get a PCMCIA card with a 10baseT interface, your cable modem shouldn't care whether you have a laptop or a desktop machine.
