I use a cable modem with @Home as the ISP and TCI as the cable provider. I have full internet access, it comes with Netscape Navigator but I use IE40 with no problems. It is very very fast. I can download files as fast as 2-3 megs per minute, of course I am limited by the server speed.

<< I refer you again to
TCI CEO Malones' comments last Friday regarding Cable and Internet. >>

This is John Malone's business plan. You can and do get FULL internet access right now where Cable modem serivice is offered. Here in California COX cable is very active.

IMHO Malone is Technically incompetent to understand the internet. I am not even sur ethat he has spent even an hour by himself. And if he thinks he can restrict internet and provide a continuous stream of advertsiements I can guarantee you he is going to fail miserably.

Gene,
GTE Americast recently installed fiber compete with TCI cable here in Thousand Oaks. They currently offer internet access (I assume they are also the ISP). They make you rent the cable modem from them at this point. One of my neighbors is on it and says it's really fast, but it's expensive at this point. I think he said 49.95/month plus the rental on the cable modem for about 20.00/month. I'm still with TCI who is about to offer a similar service.
