NOT having a "bandwidth intensive ISP start-page" is what's important to me as a broadband customer.
Google works fine.
So does about:blank.
Anyone bothering to pay big fees for broadband knows what they're paying for -- fast surfing and fast downloads.
Even the AOL converts realize that 1 MB home pages are a waste of their lives.
At least, I hope so.

UK | about:blank for me
I want my browser to open quickly so that I can go to where I want to go. I tend not to make much use of Favorites either - I'm a quick typist and modern browsers have a MRU list.

| Exactly, me too, re: the typing and MRU autocomplete.
Actually, I haven't bothered to change my browser's default page in a while; I've been lazy enough to leave up »www.mozilla.org/start/1.7/ It's kind of interesting when they change it every once in a while.
My first visit after that is usually to Google or DSLR, but I haven't felt the need to change the home page.
In a way, I guess I'm just as much a sheep as all those IE users with MSN home pages! Yikes.
I have seen crazily bloated Earthlink start page on others' machines. I can't believe it's actually SLOWER than the first versions of the Earthlink start page that emerged years and years ago. (They were terribly slow.)
The worst part is that many people think they have to WAIT for the damn thing to finish loading before they can do anything! I'm talking nearly a minute.
