Hmmmm!

I think DJRobx hit the nail on the head, I read Consumer Reports and when its an air-conditioner or car there great but this article is waaay off base-I have RR in NC and we've been down "alot" more so than dsl, I live in an apartment complex where I can't get bellsouth dsl so I switched to cable and in the last two years its been nothing but trouble, when I had dsl I was down only once in two years due to fauly wiring where I was living. I'm planning on moving once my lease is up and its goodbye RR and hello dsl and alot of people I know in charlotte feel the same way about RR, everytime you call thier number it's always this "area is down and we apologize"

A single experience does not a survey make.

Agreed but its not just a single experience-how can that be with cable? My entire area goes down and the funny thing is I live around the corner from them, so I get up this morning and guess what? Yep were down again!

I think areas as large as neighborhoods are just noise when talking about large providers. As such, it probably wouldn't show in these surveys.
