TCI@Home has been running into problems with their initial Schaumburg
rollout (I was one of the first in the area to get hooked up, and it was a
painful process).

I'm guessing that they are trying to make sure everything is right before
they light up the remaining nodes.  Their little fiasco with my install cost
them a free install + free month.  I doubt they want to do that for all of
Schaumburg.

On the positive side of things, the performance itself is great.  I don't
know how long this ultrafast connection will last, but it's certainly A Good
Thing.  I get faster transfer rates than I do at the office (and that's
quite a statement when you consider I work for a major communications
company.)

Alternatively, Interaccess now has Schaumburg on their list of DSL areas -
I'd at least call them up to have them determine if they can service your
area.  If they can, I'd tell @Home to hurry it up, or give you the install
for free if they want your business.  If @Home drops the ball, then go with
DSL.  In the long right, it might be the best thing available.
