I am more worried about in general especially in deaf community who had to deal with high-speed broadband provider change frequently. Since I maintains Deaf Network of Texas mailing list, I can see big pain in the ass when everyone will jump and asked me to change their email address. Even we have website that allows subscriber to change email address themselves, most people don’t do that. My current mbps speed is 6mb down & 768 up with Comcast Gold package – it cost us $10 a month extra for this package. Yes, it’s pretty good. Anyway, I will keep you guys posted how we are doing next few months. gwlj Guys,

I am moving to austin on May 19th and am seriously considering roadrunner premium since they will throw in 2 wireless connections for 2 computers as a part of their installation fee, down size is..it'll be 85 bucks a month. (for normal 4 mbit speeds, it will be 45 a month) Roadrunner is the premium cable provider and tries to push the benchmark for speed.

I only had used it till Feb 99 before I moved out of Rochester. I sure missed it. Of course the cable modem was kinda big.. but I am sure that has changed now since you can buy our own cable modem and subscribe to any Broadband provider. Here in Tucson, we have both Comcast and Cox... both are competing here.. :shrug: I have Cox w/ 4mb/512kb setup and Comcast has 4mb/??kb (what was yours?) I know Cox has faster setup 5mb/ 764kb (?) for extra $. and I am sure TWC (or RR) might have several offering to choose from.
