I agree.  I am also very satisfied with my RR service.  I live in
Farmville, about 13 minutes from Greenville, which has Cox Multimedia as
the cable provider (used to be RR).  I *hope* that this area NEVER gets
Cox, which is the sorriest excuse for a Cable TV/Internet provider that
I have ever seen.  A friend of mine had more service outages (both TV &
Internet) the first month he subscribed than I have had the past 3 years
on satellite (TV) and RR.  (I've had RR for almost 2 years, had  a self
installed DirecPC system before that).

+1  Although, I think this will only continue if other RR subscribers
DONT abuse their service.
