HELLO:
I'm from the Albany NY area and have been using RoadRunner for about 11
months with zero problems. My cost is about $42.00 per month.....expensive ,
sure. But I can tell you now....I'll never go back to 56K. Example of cable
broadband...........I downloaded the new 2.4.6 kernel (about 25Megs from
www.kernel.org) in 1 min. and 20 secs. Honest to God! But be forewarned......
not all sites allow such speeds. If your d'load speed at a specific site is
slow.....it's their fault usually ...not yours. Yes ...and pages load much
faster from most sites...but again not all for the above-mentioned reasons.
My advice....Don't hesitate......get broadband fron somebody.
Hope this helps. Good luck.
