roadrunner tech support is a joke, a farce, a complete waste of time. the
service itself is tolerable, ~98% uptime for me. no problems with linux or
the little black firewall 'routers'. they will insist on calling the
bridge they lease you a cable 'modem' despite the fact that it does not
modulate or demodulate, but what do you expect?
