One local cable system here in the Tampa Bay area, Bright House Networks, offers a choice of AOL, Internet Junction, Earthlink, or RoadRunner. Is there any reason to prefer one over another any more
or has cable internet access become essentially OS neutral?
Here is the text from Internet Junction touting their offerings. They do not list Linux as supported. The other three offer little detail on the BHN site.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ More Great Reasons to Love Internet Junction * 5-8 e-mail addresses available * 10MB Personal Web Space * Dynamic IP address * Toll free Technical Support * Localized News and Sports Content * Online Account Manager * No annoying pop-up ads ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thanks!
in my area, earthlink is the best choice for the cable access. all they do is resell the time warner service, but (and i still don't get how they do it) it's $2/month cheaper than if i went through twc direct. i send my payment to time warner, however.
the other thing that makes earthlink better for me, is that i also get a free unlimited dial up account. that's great for when i'm travelling. they also throw in an extra email address or two for a total of 8, whereas time warner's rr brand only offers 6.
earthlink does not require a service length committment, and they gave me the first three months for $21.95, $41.95 thereafter. their connection also does not require you to install any proprietary dialer software. just plug it in and go.
the only one i would say you should avoid, is aol.
