RE: SBC to unbundle local service from dsl
Cable companies unbundling? Unbundling what? You can just get cable modem now, but they charge you more for that then for the basic cable with the cable modem, because they have to install the filters to block cable. I just had to go through rigamaroar with them as I did basic with modem, and didn't hook up the tv. They wanted to say I didn't have the tv and increase my bill by $30 a month, I proved I had tv and offered to call the state, and they said "oops".

According to http://www.twckc.com/savingsCalculator/, plain old internet is cheaper than internet+TV

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. __________________________________ Yahoo!

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. http://twcable.agent.conversagent.com/?region=kansas-city Type in 'pricing' 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. -- I use digital signatures and encryption.
