    Time Warner's Road Runner: 9

    They have increased there download speeds from ~250kB/s a few years ago to ~550kB/s recently. It very rarely goes out. You can count the number of times I've used tech support on one hand in the 5 years I've had it mainly because it's a last resort. They basically beat your computer into submission to get you online and you have fix your network settings.
    One particular instance was a bad outside cable. They replaced the modem, which didn't fix the problem, and eventually replaced the cable. What they failed to tell us was the account should have reflected the new modem serial number prior to installing it. We didn't realize a problem until no one could access there email. We had to create a new primary account and new email accounts which could have been prevented.

    Having high download speeds and high availability, which are my priorities, is why I rated it high.
