One thing *is* for sure, AOL/TW sucks, and not a little bit, but black hole size sucks.
We are paying $50.00 a month for cable modem service and we frequently have our service turned off so that new members can have a speed increase. Keeps them on the hook for ht efree first month, then they get shunted over to the shitty side with the rest of us.
It is funny to read the messages in the RR support newsgroup, newbies will come in all brighjt eyed and chipper, telling everyone that will listen how grea tthe service is, whiel the old-timers will tell them what will happen, for 29 days (most months), the newbies will call us whiners and complainers, come the 31st day, bang, "hey, anyone else notcing a slow down" or "Hey, anyone else get knocked off for 20 hours yesterday?"
If it wasn't so damn sad it would actually be quite funny.
Monopolies, if you own them, you have to love them, I know I would.
