For all of you @Home users...

This is really going to suck for some of us.  Out here in Pleasant Hill @home 
is our only source of broadband.  After a year of broadband going back to 56k 
is going to torture me....and if all this isn't bad enough they just hiked 
the rates of their services.  Good ole corporate america screw you once more 
before they cut you off.
