Well, San Jose isnt a test site as far as I know. @Home isn't doing
that much testing in Sunnyvale as they are in Fremont because
apparently, the cable systems in fremont are more up to date and
easier to deal with or something. I do know that some people in
Sunnyvale got it, and almost all of Fremont has cable modem access now
(I live in southern fremont/Warm Springs area and we are getting it
this month)

Hope that helped a bit
