Opinions on RCN internet service?

[watercolorblue.livejournal.com]

Hi, all...I live near Teele Square, and my roommate and I are looking for the best deal on high speed internet service. So far, our best bet seems to be RCN. Do any of you use RCN for cable internet? What do you think of it? Are there any fantastic deals available to Somervillians that you want to let us in on?

Thanks for your help. The roomie and I are currently in dialup hell. Please send us a floatie.

I'm using RCN high-speed internet east of you in Winter Hill, and I don't have many complaints. The speed is great. It seems to flake out every couple days (like, randomly disconnect), and while I had to power cycle on my old PC to get it running again, w/my new comp I just have to wait a minute or so for the modem to reconnect and I'm up and running again. It might just be my hardware or something, though, I've never heard of it happening to anyone else.

Don't know of any special deals that aren't already on their website: http://www.rcn.com/specialoffers/bundles_new_boston.php

Good luck!
