To ALL: Just heard on my radio a COMCAST commercial. They were talking about users being able to get fast internet service and to call some 888 phone number. I didn't get the entire number, but I did hear the WWW site URL. comcast.com (ex) In the Philly area: inphiladelphia.com home.net PS. Cable modems are finally making the needed push to get BA moving... until later. PS1. How can I get cable from the TV in my living room to the PC in my bedroom? Since the data signal and the television signal travel on the same physical cable, a simple cable splitter will be needed to provide mulitple connections. However, due to the potential of introducing noise to the system, a cable technician will perform the installation of the splitter and cable outlet in the secondary location. If user-installed splitters or cabling are present, the technician will perform quality assurance tests before deeming the service operational. home.net

Bill:>I've claimed that 70% of the lines can support RADSL.< What you may claim and what telcos are saying internally are two different things. I have asked you to ask your contacts at you know where to find out what their parameters are. No matter what is stated in analyst reports (half are wrong anyways), the only parameter of how many lines you can really extend service to is what the engineering department will say is loop qualifiable--in terms of kilofeet. And that my friend, you will not find in a published URL. 70% is probably based on a loop legnth of 18 kft. BA won't go out to 18 kft with RADSL. Nowhere close to it. Just ask your contacts to verify this is true. You can believe me or not. But if you just trust PR and analyst statments, you will find most of your information to be wrong half the time. Hal
