Is Road Runner good?
Its expensive, thats for sure... wondering, since Im going to need to get a broadband (cable) service soon.

If not that, what about Earthlink? or other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

1. I really like it.
We've had it for years without problems. We bought a wireless router and have a desktop and two laptops on the network without extra charge.

2. Been using Earthlink thru TWC
for 5 years now and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
Check for special deals... seems that I saw something recently for both services.
I only used Earthlink because I was already a customer.
If you're one of the lucky ones, you can maybe get the RoadRunner hi-speed, fiber-optic connections.

3. Almost afraid to jinx
it by saying it but it is very good. The tech help is good too. I had a DNS problem with one site a month or so ago and they spent hours on the phone with me trying to help. Fast and almost never a downtime.

4. I had Cox in San Diego and loved it...
...some of my friends who had RR complained that RR would often block ports that P-P programs use.
