Just in:

AT&T ANNOUNCES *** AT&T BROADBAND OFFERS NEW FASTER SPEED TO
CABLE INTERNET USERS - Internet power users who have a need for more 
cable Internet speed now can subscribe to UltraLink service, a new level 
of AT&T Broadband Internet.  The faster broadband Internet residential 
service is being launched today in Dallas, Denver, Salt Lake City, San 
Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, St. Paul, Minn., and communities in the 
company's Michigan and Rocky Mountain markets.  The UltraLink service is 
a faster cable Internet speed that will be offered in addition to the 
company's current service.  The new tier will allow customers to surf at 
maximum speeds capped at 3 Mbps downstream and 384 kbps upstream, 
compared with the current offering that allows customers to surf the 
Internet at speeds up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and 256 kbps upstream 
(speeds can vary from maximums based on a variety of factors). AT&T 
Broadband expects to launch the service in other markets later this 
summer.  These markets include:  Atlanta, Florida, Pittsburgh, Portland, 
Ore., and Southern California.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
