does anyone know what MSPG's KNOLOGY offering is? Again, I thought it was two-way cable. Nice post Mr. Bones Since you posted a reference to Knology. I thought I should post a link to their site. Mostly, for newer investors nervous about the future going forward. Knology is a cable company held by ITC Holdings,, as well as interests in Mindspring. They service Columbus and Montgomery. Study the site, You will get a glue of what the grand plan is. Check it out you will fell better about the future of Mspg. knology.com Best wishes 3d

Mr. Bones - >Does this include installation & modem purchase or rental? I believe it includes the rental of the modem, but installation was somewhere around $100. About the same for DSL installation if I recall correctly. I'm sure different areas will do it differently. In the future, you'll probably see a lot of "installation for $5"-type ads that cable cos. are famous for (act now at get free HBO for a month!). >Don't discount the "always on" connection that DSL & cable both offer. I definitely agree with you here, but it will be another year or two, before this really becomes a necessity. Streaming video/voice/data will be the future of the net, I think, and this is where you would like the "always on" aspect. For now tho', the average user (aol'er) just chats, surfs, and checks their mail, nothing too stressful on a connection. Kinda OT - For surfing at home, you might try turning "auto-load images" off in netscape or IE. I surf like this at home since I'm normally looking for info and not pictures (it does make charting a pain tho). I generally see about a 0-2sec loading time difference in T1 at work vs X2 at home with this setup. >For that matter, does anyone know what MSPG's >KNOLOGY offering is? Again, I thought it was two-way cable. I'm pretty sure it is/was. Let me also just echo Jinx3D's feeling of ITC control. Heck, I even moved states and I'm still working for a company owned by them! Just when I think I'm out, they keep pulling me back in... g llater, Tony B
