John and others,
re:<<We have TCI offering "Road Runner" cable internet access in my area right now (haven't signed up yet, but will soon). Their literature claims it is full internet access, on 100% of the time, at "up to" (hate it when they say that) 100 times the speed of "ordinary" access.<<

Do they charge by the hour or by the megabyte?

Also, has anyone used a satellite network provider? Please comment on advantages and disadvantages. One disadvantage i noticed was an hourly rate with a megabyte charge for downloads. My goal in using this type of service is to speed up graphics intensive web sites. Obviously this could get quite expensive.

appreciate all comments,
steve h
