I guess it depends. Relatives in S.D. have RoadRunner cable, and have complained to me that the connect
speed is quite disappointing vis-a-vis the upgrade they were expecting from dial-up / 56K service. (And I
*never* see regular modem service connect there at better than about 31K, due to poor line conditions.)

Is this service thru your satellite dish ? Either way, where do you sign up
for it ? Will they offer you a fixed IP ? And how is their Tech Support ?
