Re: So much for the news story from a couple days ago

My thoughts exactly. Felt my heart sink.

In their defense... It actually doesn't say that they wouldn't, it says that people should not be surprised if they do not.

Half of Insight to Comcast and the other half to Time Warner would be too textbook and predictable, spice it up a bit!

I think TW would be a great fit. When I had insight..it was insight RR then and was very happy with them.

The Coyote captured the RR! Roadrunner Rick is now Comcastic!

Granted it's not the best comparison and you can't use it to justify anything:

I know a lot of people east of me who have roadrunner/TWC in Kentucky and their experience is horrible. But they are old Adelphia customers. Their service has been horrible forever and nothing seems to be done about it.

I hope whoever does purchase it spends some more time thinking about routing and the geographic area -- that would make me happy.

I was never clear -- what is the relationship between the "Insight RR" in columbus? What speeds is it (Insight speeds or RR speeds?) and who actually owns the systems? Does Insight just use the RR name to retain customers?

rr speeds, rr network, the first 2 hops were on insight localy, then transfered to rr out on the west site of columbus where rr's data center for columnbus is. insight was paying twc/rr for the use/access similat to bright house network's relationship.

semi-RR speeds. insight in columbus only offers a 5/512 connection which has never matched what our neighbors on tw get just a few miles away although it's just resold tw.

Never matched? Not much more than a month ago, TWCOL RR standard WAS 5/512, same as Insight. They just had it years before us, we only got it last fall. So it did match for about 9-10 months.
