Broadband broadband..
it will be in every household in America, but only when it is available at a
reasonable price, Cable access (just available) for me is 39.95 a month. and
Bell Atlantic Dsl also just available is 49.95.
while my 56k dial up is 7.50. bring broadband down to 20 bucks a month and
i'll be the first one to sign.
things i have heard Dsl loses sync and you cant log on, Cable access is on a
lan so the more users the slower the M/bs.
