90% Penetration!

[Baconbutty]

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 :)

[R Giskard Reventlov]

My thoughts exactly! :laugh:

me, me, me

So if I was still using Virgin Broadband and I was 90% penetrated does that mean that I am no longer allowed to use it?

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

Slight rephrase: Broadband providers have now penetrated 90% of active internet users in the USA. Quite painfully, as a matter of fact, much to the joy of those who own stock in Wyeth[^].

That actually makes it worse! If the Providers have now gone round and penetrated 90% of active internet users, will they sue? Will there be a baby boom?

Doubtful, since they weren't using that, uh, 'access method' in their 'penetration'.

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

It's hard to imagine that many people being "serviced" at once.

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 :)
