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.
