I think it depends on whether you were originally a MediaOne cable system or a TCI system. MediaOne systems still use Roadrunner as their ISP, while TCI was Excite-based. Lucky for me, I'm on a former MediaOne net.
That's not correct. The old Mediaone/AT&T Broadband regions are not using RoadRunner. The systems and staff were split off from RoadRunner when AT&T had to divest it's interest in RoadRunner (as part of the AOL/TimeWarner merger, IIRC).
But the contracts have a life to run. I'm on a former MediaOne system in Newton, MA, and on the cable board here, and I can assure you that a lot of the infrastructure feeding my cable modem comes from Roadrunner, not excite - though there seem to have been some changes over the past month or so. ************************************************************************** The Center for Civic Networking PO Box 600618 Miles R.
