Re: TCI marketing of ATHM

I live in an area served by TCI. I've already notified TCI@home
of my interest in their service, since they just finished the
HFC upgrade of the cable infrastructure here. Yesterday,
I got a demo CD from TCI@Home in the mail. It is apparently

mailings of new areas, as they install the HFC infrastructure.

It was a good demo, gave a visual comparison of download speeds
of ATHM (500k = 1 second) vs. 28.8 (ungodly slow) and ISDN (nearly
ungodly slow).
