Ahem. $100/week?

>Anyone know anything about this?

Yes. There are about 200 people with T1 rate cable network connections
already in Cambridge, England, being a test site for a new Set Top Box
technology. In this case it isn't a traditional T1, but rather an ATM link
which happens to run at the same speed.

The T1 rate is mainly used for multi-media video type applications, but the
company I was talking to was thinking of providing IP access also as a
supplimentary service. 

NOTE: SUPPLIMENTARY :-)
