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.

No experience with RCN, but I live near Teele and have Comcast cable modem. I'm neutral. No problems (other than one internet blackout for half a day in the five months I've had it) on the one hand, but if you ever call them... well, expect to wait a half-hour to fourty-five minutes before getting through to anyone. People have generally been very friendly and helpful once I did get though, though.
