ot ot ot re: Whats up with spyg Greg? What does that company do please? I'm looking at that one. Check this url out for starters. techstocks.com Read my first post on the thread and all the ones after that one not too many people on SPYG thread. Message 9052803 To see why I invested. Also, do not expect glory over night with SPYG. I have watch SPYG since IPO, since they are in my neck of woods. I believe now is the time for them to finally shine. Follow SPYG for little bit, maybe it's too soon. SPYG lacks what I call investor mindshare so it's seems under followed, hopefully there will be others to find out about it like yourself. re: BTW @home is a disappointment as a service. I've changed my mind recently, DSL will win I think now. Just fwiw in case you have never used @home. I have heard people love it, and some that don't. Growing pains I HOPE! I like xDSL too that's why I have invested in AWRE. So it's AWRE to my ATHM which is to my AOL, and SPYG to go with QCOM and the rest. <g> Greg

<<BTW @home is a disappointment as a service. I've changed my mind recently, DSL will win I think now. Just fwiw in case you have never used @home. >> Michelle, I agree with you...I have also heard complaints about @home service from friends in Iowa and in Washington. At the same time I have MANY friends that have signed up for DSL service through RBOCs like UsWest, Bell Atlantic or PacBell -- they seem to LOVE the service and the direct connection to high speed internet access. @home is great as long as many of your neighbors aren't trying to share the same cable lines -- this is becoming a common problem. I am betting on DSL becoming the dominant broadband method to hookup. I think that cable modems will co-exist with them (yet IMO stocks like @home are richly valued when you consider the service they deliver and the limited penetration they really have). I'm betting on AWRE -- the leading DSL technology firm that lisences its intellectual capital to RBOCs, Lucent, Cisco, etc...IMHO, we are still in the early innings of the DSL revolution. Many players (like LU, CSCO, the RBOCs, DELL, AOL etc..) will help make DSL "the preferred way" for millions of consumers and small businesses to gain high speed internet access. Best Regards, Scott

OT---<<Here's an interesting comparison of @home with an ADSL service: Cable vs. DSL: Which one will get you on the Internet faster? seattletimes.com So how do DSL and cable connections compare? After about a month of testing the two in our home, I came to some conclusions that surprised me. First and foremost was: Speed difference is not the issue I expected it to be. ... After working with both systems, I concluded that at a certain level, fast is fast. The Web blazes satisfactorily on either system; neither disappoints, even at levels well below the rated throughput. I conducted a highly unscientific test with Cecile where we both typed in a series of the same URLs. We pressed the "Enter" key at the same time and waited for pages to display. In all cases, DSL performed faster than cable. DSL particularly was faster, by a factor of 33 to 100 percent, on sites that Cecile had never visited before (and the cable system may not have cached). ... As it stands today, pricing is definitely in cable's favor. My home DSL line costs $40 a month. But that does not include Internet access. ... ... For users who want high speed and maximum flexibility, an independent ISP that supports DSL is the way to go, although the cost may be slightly to significantly higher. In the long run, Web and other telecommunications products and services - not speed - may distinguish fast Net suppliers from one another. ... In terms of marketing and service potential, both DSL and cable access seem in their infancy. For now, speed and "always on" are the compelling reasons to go with fast Internet access. Be forewarned: Once one member of your household gets it, everyone from the spouse on down to the gamers will crave to follow. We all have the greed for speed.>>
