Re: There's only one thing that could start to impress me about

While I tend to agree with the 'open the pipes' analogy (they _should_ be allowing more than 25Mbps through if users can sync up at even better than 40Mbps)... it _should_ be used to push other services such as 2nd HDTV or higher bandwidth. I personally don't care or need it, but it would sell service better for at least being able to provide more than 1 HD stream.
It would be definately better to have the pipe flexible, and I think that there would have to be some prioritization:

1. VoIP
2. TV/HDTV
3. Internet

Like Rick stated... if there's 50Mbps, you could have a couple of HD streams, and slower Internet (upto ?? Mbps)
If it was all internet, up to ?? whatever package you pay for (lets say this is a special 'flex' power package... "

The only problem that I could see with it is customer support. AT&T's current model is easier to implement, and standard across the board, while a flexible model would benefit some, it would probably cost more to support than AT&T would probably want to pay out.
