Warpdrive Online is the Internet division of US Cable. I picked up Warpdrive just shortly after my nightmare with DirecWay. 2 days after the call, the installer was in my house and had me up and running in about 30 minutes.
Now I know there are other cable companies that are delivering speeds faster than Warpdrive, but Comcast and Road Runner are not here. But for the now 4Mb/s, I only pay $40 a month and I DON'T have cable tv. When I had comcast before I moved, Comcast would charge $65 for a cable modem with out Cable TV and $50 if you had Cable TV.
I have had a small problem with some email not getting through on their server. I contacted them and they never really got around to fixing it. Not a big deal because I have 3 web-based email services as well as my work mail. But it is annoying to not get all my mail. They tried to tell me that it was my junk mail filter when it wasn't. I knew this because I checked the web mail service through warpdrive and the messages I sent to my self were not getting through from another email.
a few problems stop this service from being stellar but it is the best and fastest and most affordable option in a small rural community.

Quick update. Email issues have been resolved and now works great!

It has been just over a year since my DirecWay now HughsNet Fiasco. After the DirecWay installer removed the dish from my roof, I called US Cable (the company the provides Warpdrive Online) and scheduled an installer to come out. He came 2 days after the dish came down worked for about 25 minutes and I was up and running with my cable modem.
The modem does go out once every 6 months or so, but that is less frequent that it was when I had comcast in a big city.
The largest problem I still have is that not all of my mail gets delivered to me through the email server. I have called them and they have made little progress in correcting the issue. They keep telling me it is my junk mail program even though I can check my inbox via the web and it still doesn't show up. This is a headache but email is not a huge problem as I have a hotmail, Gmail, work email, and other ways of getting email.
Other than this email problem, no big issues.
One more thing. I kept my dish tv service and did not go with cable for tv as well. I expected to be charged an addition $15 a month for having the cable modem without cable tv. US Cable DID NOT charge me extra. The installer said it was $40 a month whether I had cable TV or not. I don't know what current policies are on most cable companies, but I believe that this is a departure from standard billing practices.
