Several Family Members Can be on the Internet at the Same Time! Both AOL and Comcast @Home offer you up to 7 different email addresses for your account. But with AOL, if one person is connected, none of the other screen names can log in, even from different computers! Not with Comcast @Home. You can all log in at once!

Comcast @Home Downloads up to 100 times faster than AOL or other dial-up internet connections. A typical 3MB MP3 file, for example, takes 14 ½ minutes to download at 28.8 k, but only 30 seconds with Comcast @Home!  Go to Intel's Download Speed site to check your current download speed. (Click the "Determine my Current Speed" button.  Comcast @Home usually runs around 800k or better).

Comcast @Home is always on. No waiting for your modem to dial and connect. No screeching. No disconnections. No tying up your phone line. (Eliminate that extra phone line and save a bundle!) Keep your email running all the time and instantly receive email messages as they arrive.

Comcast @Home Uses Standard POP3 Email, which can be accessed by any email software (Outlook, Eudora, Netscape, etc.) You aren’t stuck with AOL’s proprietary email which sometimes garbles attachments and can’t be accessed by standard software.

You Get 10 MB of Web storage space for your web homepage, pictures, etc. Plus, you can enable Front Page support to make uploading a breeze if you use Microsoft Front Page 2000 ++.

Continue to Instant-Message your buddies using AOL’s free Instant Messenger. Instant Messenger lets you chat with any AOL member or other AOL Instant Messenger user, and its features surpass AOL’s Buddy List.

Keep AOL too, if you want, at a reduced rate. Switch your AOL account to "Bring Your Own Access" and pay AOL only $9.95 per month. Connect to AOL through your Comcast @Home high speed connection and be amazed!

Comcast @Home does not require the installation of special proprietary software on your computer, as does AOL. All you need is a browser and its associated email program (Netscape/Communicator or Internet Explorer/Outlook Express). Nothing to corrupt or overload your PC.

You can network several computers together and simultaneously access the internet and email through all of them. (You can’t do this with AOL since you can only have one screen name logged on to your account at any one time). Networking also allows the sharing of printers and data on hard drives. 

No long term commitment. Comcast @Home is subscribed to on a month to month basis. Quit any time with no penalty. But, once you have tried the high speed, always on, easy to use Comcast @Home, you’ll wonder how you surfed the internet the "old AOL way".
