SATX APhi,
We had road runner through Time Warner in Austin and it was great. Always running online and smooth. We felt it was better!
Another thing I thought I'd add is this...if you already have a phone line get a regular hook up if you are looking for a cheap rate. You can get like a free AOL disc and use that for a while until you find something cheaper (I heard Juno is 9.99 a month unlimited).
As far as cable modems, they are cheaper and some places will run specials. I got mine through COX Cable and it cost me 110.00. I can pay it in four instillations so I don't have to rent it. I'd prefer to buy it anyways cuz renting usually costs more and you could have had it paid of sooner.
The other thing you may want to ask is if you can get a discount for having multiple services with the same company. For example I get a discount for already have basic extended cable with COX, so they are giving me half off internet hook for three months.
Some factors I took into consideration were the following:
I'm never home so why do I need to pay for a phone line with all those extra features. Even the non-feature phone line was going to cost me $23. Plus add AOL at another $23 and that's $46 a month.
Cable modem is payable in four installments, and the service is $35 a month and a hella lot quicker. Now I don't know what DSL is like, but my concern is having to pay for an actual service (such as AOL) on top of your DSL price.
Hope this all makes sense!
