Do you really think >that Internet Service can be compared to basic utilities such as >natural gas and electricity? Internet service is a l-u-x-u-r-y. There was a time when people said that electricity was a luxury, when telephone service was a luxury. I spent more in internet connection and services than I did in any other utility... to me its necessary and worth what I was paying. Its less about not having Road Runner than it is a company exterting undue control over its customers. I won't allow Niagra Mohawk to tell me what appliances I can and should use, I won't allow the gas station on the corner to tell me what kind of car I should be driving, I won't allow the phone company to tell me who I can and cannot speak to... why should anyone assume that a cable company has that right? -- Willie Williams airborne@wizvax.net http://www.wizvax.net/airborne/roadrunner/complaint.html
