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.

We use RCN, and we live just off Holland. It's a good price and, compared to Comcast, much much more reliable. Sometimes it takes them a while to make changes (like cancelling extra voicemail service) but so far it only goes out a couple times a year, and then only for a few hours at a time.

You can also get the internet cheaper if you get phone and/or cable as part of a package deal.

Yup - I live in Teele and I've had RCN for two years, no problems. It is SO much cheaper with cable and phone in a package (well, if you were going to get cable anyway).
