From the info given its still dial up verses cable as currently is. Its just going to be a new level of the preexisting structures. dial up, slow cable, fast cable. Like it or not its a matter of making offical a preexisting structure. If you want to acknowledge that the system already works this way or not its your own problem.
The question comes down to if they have the 20 dollar cable, the 50 dollar cable, or the 100 dollar cable as the good stuff. If for example they make a new 20 dollar sucky level of cable its an improvement for us that already are at the 50 dollar level. They make the 50 dollar level the sucky thats a problem. However it makes more sense to have the AOL 20 dollar suck level so more people are on the internet then pricing out half their customer base.
I'll fall to paranoia after they do something stupid like go to the fewer people that pay more model. Not before they do anything.
