The other think about Media One's cable modem service in our area, they aren't selling it. I called their local number and no one knew anything about it. Went to their web site and filled out a request for information form. One month later a guy calls me up, answers some basic questions, sends me a pamphlet.

Every week in the mail they send us a solicitation to sign up for cable service but while the ad lovingly talks about HBO and Disney, there's never a mention of the cable modem service.

I've seen no radio, tv, or newspaper ads. It's like a carefully guarded secret.
