I don't know that I agree. I've had pretty good luck with Road Runner for
many
years. There is the occasional hiccup but it's the exception rather than
the
rule.


Do you really think so? I find that RR sucks. When I lived in NJ, I was
with Comcast and they used Giga-News and even though I had a 1 gig download
limit (unless I paid extra), the news servers held the posts for many days
and even weeks. Here with RR, even the text groups lose posts after only a
day or two and forget about the binaries.
