I have had BellSouth Fast Access DSL since early January. Now, Time Warner is advertising its Road Runner cable service for $39.95 per month versus BellSouth's $59.95 per month. I have decided to order the Road Runner service and will report to you the differences sometime in March. Road Runner also promises an "always on" connection..BellSouth's "always on"
connection disconnects at least once a day!
I am also hoping Road Runner is more network friendly.
It seems to me, we are looking at 2 competing technologies, which is very similar to when VCR's first came out, one was Beta and the other VHS. With the merger of Time Warner and America Online and the problems with the Bells in coordinating their DSL service, particularly BellSouth, it seems the future looks rosier for Cable and Time Warner/AOL.
Similarly, although Beta may have been a superior VCR format in many ways, mistakes made by Sony and the brilliance of the VHS marketing strategy during the Eighties made VHS the winner.
