I've done a little digging myself, and came up with this person's site,
which gives a less-corporate view of roadrunner...

http://www.gayson.com/sschlos/linerunner.html

There's also a link to Time Warner's 'users manual' online, which isn't
immediately found on the cablesites page. There's a lot more in-depth
infor in the manual than in the local advertising page. Be warned - if
you've got a sound-capable computer and browser, you'll get the cartoon
Road Runner's "meep meep" without a warning. |-}
