Again shows the difference in experience: in my neighborhood everyone
complained about outages and and slowdowns before we signed up for
anything.  Our experience with their cable service at our apartment
was abysmal (and continually jacked-up rates didn't help).

So first thing I did when we moved in is go DSL (~2001 timeframe),
and have been extremely happy since.  For the last couple of years
I have been on business class DSL, and I get faster throughput than
any of my neighbors on TWC/RR.  And I don't experience near the
dropouts that they do.  Sure, I had to upgrade my modem a couple of
times over the years (one went bad, other for faster b-class service
and wireless capability).  Plus my rate is still cheaper than my
neighbor's residential class.  Hummmm, faster and more reliable
service at a cheaper rate - go figure.
