Been using Road Runner with Brighthouse (was Time Warner) here for many years. Make sure the cable modem they provide you uses a standard ethernet connection. You don't really want to get stuck with just a USB interface as that makes it more difficult to setup your home network. Once you have that I recommend you get one of the many cheap hardware firewalls or setup a linux box as a dedicated firewall. Then you can put what ever you want on your internal network. And you won't have too load any of their software. One other thing to watch out for, if you have a company laptop/desktop configured for your corporate domain, do not let the installer change that. If you do your machine will require special attention from your corporate IT guys to get it re-registered with the domain. Learned this first hand as my group handled calls from remote users all the time with this problem.
