Poll: How is your ROAD RUNNER experience?

[Raspewtin]

I had Road Runner a 3-4 yrs back in San Diego (before I moved). I loved it. Service wasn't bad. Now I have @hell, which is okay as long as I don't need service. My speed is much faster BTW with @home, but service sucks.

I love my RR. Only had two short downtimes in the 6 months that i have had it and i get anywhere from 1.5 to 4 mbit downloads. I get like 400kbit uploads. I'm in Orlando by the way.

I have Time Warner RR in columbus, oh and I have no complaints at all.

I have RR in Columbia, SC.
When it works, it is great.
ALL too often, they have a bad router a few hops away from me.
I have had TOO many experiences when I report a BAD router and provide a Trace Route and a WHOIS, where they try to frigging tell me it is not there router and they can not garantee anything about other routers on the net.
Also, the local cable companies ALL have different customer data bases in different formats. Do you think the National help desk can access the customer data base in Columbia, SC? No, so I bet we are not the only ones.
When an ISP can't tell who its customers are, and has no idea which routers are theirs, guess how long a bad router can stay broken? Only thing worse than RR is EXODUS network.

Any ISP service (excluding PPPoE - unless you have a router) will work with any OS that supports TCP/IP. I don't know of any OSs out right now that don't support TCP/IP. As far as I know, even DOS supports it. Anybody who tries to tell you otherwise needs to be told.

RR took so long to get their 's' together, I ended up getting DSL

I am on the central NY RR and have had it for 3 years now. It sucks now but was awesome for the first 1.5 years. This city (Ithaca, NY) is overloaded (40,000 undergrad/grad/prof/etc.). There are many off campus people in the middle of this college town. Its a small town in the middle of nowhere. My parents have it in Albany (Eastern NY RR) and its currently slower there. I used to be able to upload at about 250-300 KB/s and I maxed out at 800KB/s download a few times back in the beginning. It was somwhat comparable to a T1 (this was before DSL was in this area). Now it seems as if the service is constantly going down (like 1once or twice a week) or being expanded without any additional bandwidth being provided to the routers in this area. Now I can only upload at about 30KB/s and download at 250KB/s. Very dissappointing to see the bandwidth and service decline since its inceeption in this area 3 years ago.
