Roadrunner. That's what I use and I like it a lot. I get a 2 Mbps connection, unlimited bandwidth,

There is a cap on Road runner, depends on division, but enforcement is coming.

Time Warner Cable is who offers Roadrunner. Also, Time Warner Owns (its a time warner company and they bought it several years ago) Aol. Aol does not have their own high speed cable network. If you sign up for it all they will do is send a Time Warner Cable truck out to your house and install roadrunner. It doesnt become aol high speed for broadband until you install and run that crappy ass aol software which will let you connect to aol with a username and password through a tcp/ip, or lan connection like roadrunner.

My advice? Your better off getting roadrunner................lol.

I forgot to mention that Time warner (roadrunner) also has a deal with earthlink to offer high speed cable. When you think its from earthlink your actually getting time warner service.

Their sort of monopolizing.

First off, you can't get 400-500kb/s with a 2.5mbit connection.
Second, Comcast may be cheaper, but you have a a bandwidth cap.

RoadRunner is a 3mbit connection (Missouri) with unlimited bandwidth at 300kb/s max. Although I have hit 317kb/s before. (It only happened once.)
