That $29.99 is for six months, then the price goes up a bit.
Naturally, TimeWarner doesn't have any information on its website as to the regular price of RoadRunner by itself. No doubt the price will be a little lower than the cost of basic cable plus RoadRunner.
Time Warner has always offered unbundled internet access. The residential service is currently $44.95/mo with no contract. That's for 384k upstream / 5m downstream guaranteed.

SBC DSL at the same rates is $5/mo more, requires a year contract, and the speeds you get are dependant on your proximity to the SLAM in your neighborhood: https://swot.sbc.com/swot/dslCategoryLanding.do
I've had DSL and IMHO it's a nuisance. The copper around midtown is all too old and cooroded to carry consistent data services -- far too prone to interference and line noise. I always had problems when I had it. As soon as my contract was up I jumped ship and haven't looked back.
