Internet grumblings
Mar. 27th, 2006 10:31 pmRoadRunner is currently $60/month from TimeWarner. This is a lot for a month of internet. I'd go so far as to say that $60/month for high speed access is Highway Robbery!
Unfortunately, DSL (as well as the newer technology, FiOS) isn't available where I am. What's the competition for TimeWarner's cable modem service? Earthlink cable modem service. Is there any other competition? Nope. So I tried to switch to Earthlink.
I called Earthlink and apparently, TimeWarner does Earthlink's installations. So I called TimeWarner to set up an appointment. According to the TimeWarner representative I spoke to, I can't use my router to split the connection. I find that majorly weird, and really unlikely. Is TimeWarner lying to me? Someone computer-savvy... is that POSSIBLE, to not split a connection?
