What can I look forward to?

When we first got broadband internet service it started out with AT&T, switched to Comcast and now is Time Warner's RoadRunner. To be honest I can't tell a lot of difference as far as "speed" goes. If your connection is broadband I don't think that you are going to have to be worried about speed too much regardless of the provider. The biggest rub comes into the service's realiablity. I think that for whatever reason, the quality of service with any of the providers varies from place to place. My service with RR is not bad, we don't often have down times, we didn't with Comcast either. However, I have heard from other friends and family that have the same providers that experience a lot of down times. But, as I said, as far as the speed goes I don't think you should have a lot of concern.
