Glen, regardless of how my T1 connection at work is performing the point I was trying to make is that as my 28.8 modem works fine for me in SF using Pac Bell as my ISP the vast majority of people, like myself, have little inclination to switch to DSL or any other faster speeds to surf the net in the near future. Therefore AOL can take it's time getting into the high speed arena and let T and ATHM make all the headlines today.

The difference between 28.8 and broadband is comparable to walking slowly and taking the Concorde.
