high-speed access question

[jose sanchez]

In your opinion. What would be the best choice for
high-speed Road Runner or SWB's DSL in the area. 
I live in the plaza area and already had a bad
experience with DSL. Last summer the company was
droping the connection every 15 mins. and I couldn't
be connected to the Internet. Their excuse was that I
was in the "bubble" area and because of the heat on
the cables the connection was dropped.

I just want to know how confortable and / or happy
with their service (cable or dsl) in this area.

Thanks.
