I don't know about the other carriers, but I'm here to tell
you that RoadRunner (at least, it's incarnation here in Kansas)
really, truly, sucks ass:
1. They charge for basic cable in addition to my network
connection, even though I don't use the cable TV part.
2. ftp & http access to machines I have attached to the network
is *blocked* ( can get in via TELNET; whoop, whoop).
3. Their NNTP (net news) service sucks
4. They're going to raise my rates *again*.
5. The speed is no where nearly as fast as it used to be.
I'd go DSL but SBC doesn't have DSL in my neighborhood.
Damn.

I was just switched from @Home to my local cable
company's
(insight
communications) network, and it's actual been
more stable and
reliable then it
was before. @Home kind of sucked, but I've been happy with
insight's service,
at least so far -- it's been about a month...
Ok, so how much does Insight cost? Will they panic if I tell them I
don't have windows, and no, it's not a Macintosh either? ;)
Do they require you to buy cable service too, or can you get the
network hookup separately?
I have been considering switching to cable off and on, myself.
