David - You simply do not have the facts regarding Cable accessibility in the US. Check your facts. Check your facts please, or at least reference your source, bam is right. In the US, there are over 96 million television households; of these homes, 92.8 million are passed by cable. In the US, there are 63.2 million cable subscribers (TCI provides service to 13.7 million) SOURCE: catv.org

Message from David Nelson on Jan 21 1998 2:26PM EST Thanks for your kind words. I wish yours would be a bit kinder. You simply do not have the facts regarding Cable accessibility in the US. Check your facts. As someone else pointed out, it was your facts that needed checking. 95% homes passed and 65% penetration are basically correct. Furthermore, T1 is not ADSL so this statement can't even addressed. If you would do your own research rather that believing ATHM's drivel you might not speak first and think afterwards. If you are going to criticize ADSL, know the product first. Before you criticize a post, please read it. PacBell is charging $325/month for the T1-speed (aka 1.5ishMbit/sec bidir) version of their new ADSL. I'm sorry to have confused you. BTW, I should have mentioned this earlier, but I work for @Home. I don't have anything to do with the bandwidth side, so all of my postings should be taken with a grain of salt (but I _think_ they're correct). Question _everyone's_ marketing drivel. Price, benchmarks, customer surveys, and product availability will really be the only ways to guess which technology wins the high bandwidth war. Some of this is known, much isn't... yet.
