See Marshall's reply to your earlier comments: #reply-7160757 Obviously, xDSL will be gaining customers in the general market faster than BeThere, but BT will still have it's own advantages over xDSL in specific applications.

Oh, for God's sake. I've explained it in here probably 80 times and you still ask? I apologize if you're an early poster but if you read the posts it's quite obvious what we've been dealing with. xDSL is probably going to hit about 10% penetration by the year 2001. xDSL is only one way of bringing higher speed access into a home or a business - if you can get it and then they're both still asymmetrical. Cable modems are great but not secure by any means, they're merely a neighborhood LAN and "Guido" down the street can watch everything you do with some very simple equipment and programming. None of the above allow total freedom of movement and both are nothing more than a higher speed pipe that you certainly end up paying for. When dealing with universal remote access applications you have to deal with POTS thus multiplexing the line is the best choice for many years to come. Want more info on xDSL? I'll be glad to provide it.
