Answer 1

I live in southern california and for the past six years I have been using dial up internet because there was no dsl in my area. I kept having a problems with people trying to call me on my home phone because I was online using dial up internet and causing my phone line to be busy.

Last year, I was able to get Road Runner in my area from Time Warner. Installation took about two to three hours from a professional installer who came to the house and install a cable line from the electrical pole to the house. Now I am able to use the internet at a faster speed compared to DSL and my phone line is never in use since Road Runner operates on a cable line and not from the telephone line. The cost is about $44.95 a month which to me is worth it with the speed and service.

Cable is quicker by a small margin, at least in my area, for the base plan on each. You should be able to pay more for them to open up more bandwith. Its just a simple modem that you plug a coax cable into, power and then to your computer. Pretty simple.
