I had a good experience with my installers; they installed new cable, 
Interestingly enough, they used a gasoline edger to dig the trench, so it 
must not be deeper than 3 - 4".

They did a very neat job running the cable along the top of the outside 
wall. They drilled the hole where I told them (near the old phone wire 
entrance) and caulked it well.

Once inside, they ran the cable to the computer, installed the modem and 
took off. The only gripe I might have is that they told me absolutely 
nothing about what to do in case of problems, how to reset the modem, where 
to call (Earthlink was a little huffy the one time I had to call, said to 
contact TW).  I think if I had been left a set of instructions and 
settings, I would have been completely satisfied.

My d/l speeds approach 2 Mb and I don't know up speeds but they are plenty 
fast. I live in the Williamsburg Settlement, in Katy just W. of Mason on 
Colonial Parkway.

Very happy with the service. BTW I use Earthlink instead of RR.
