    Given that they're broadband 'service' providers, all of the above.

          Verizon FIOS offers them MSN and Yahoo as a choice of email providers. I would probably pick Yahoo if my cable company raises their rates and cuts service again but I may just call and give Comcast the option to give me a large discount instead loosing me as a customer. I know they are just as eager to do this as cell phone companies.

            I have wondered the same thing. It has been many years since I received an AOL disk in the mail :)

              I really liked when they supplied me all floppies I needed for free but when they went to cds they were not as useful.

                Yeah, the CDs you could use for coasters or make a windchime out of, but as often as we received them.... Of course, that was back in the dot com boom years where they threw money way. Guess those people have now moved into the goverment offices ;)

                  Wow! Broadband now is supposed to have penetrated 90% of active internet users in the USA: http://www.websiteoptimization.com/bw/0807/[^]

                  Considering the trouble I had yesterday trying to buy a dialup modem, I can believe it. Of course, what Europe calls broadband is a far cry from what we get here in the US. I get 256kbps for 4x the price I used to pay for wireless 2Mbps service. Too bad the geeks that ran that service were such idiots at running a business... :sigh:

                    There're alot of benefits to living in a low population density area, unfortunately cheap highspeed internet isn't one of them. :((

                      Painful :omg:

                      I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

                      You beat me to it... $20 says he chose the title just to get these reactions. And now for the final question: "So, when can she expect the other 10%?"

                        Can Virgin have 90% penetration and still be called Virgin?

                        No, then it would be Comcast, cuz almost everyone around here hitches a ride on that one.
