Re: this is going to suck... :(

No, they share the same RF network and backbone connection is still provided by RR. Basically, this is a re-marketing ploy. It is very similar to those dial-up ISP's that use the modem banks of AT&T, Worldcom, Level3 etc. and only provide the email etc. services and bill you.

However, since the same customer will not be listed twice on the node who cares if the customer is getting service from Earthlink or RR in terms of bandwidth use it will be the same. And the prices are plus or minus equal as well.

Having other ISPs on the cable network isn't going to affect your service at all. The other ISPs will be separate from your bandwidth limited, piece of crap RR service. You don't have to worry about other companies ruining your cable internet, TW is quite capable of doing that itself.
