The aren't available all over CT yet - just places with TCI or Charter Communications for a cable provider. They also have some nasty installation software - if you install @Home's software on NT Server, it gets transformed in NT Workstation by the install - it's their attempt to keep you from using Proxy Server or something similar. It takes a bit of work, but you can coerce it back to NT Server (hint: run RDISK before starting the @Home install, and be prepared to reinstall stuff afterwards), and can even set it up with Proxy Server with a little work.
