The four biggest differences between Road Runner and DSL are: • Availability. Depending on where you reside, DSL may not be available in your area. If you live in a Time Warner Cable serviceable area, and if it’s upgraded, Road Runner will be available to all residents living within that Time Warner Cable area. • No Long Term Contracts. With Road Runner, there are no long term contracts to sign. With DSL, you may have to commit to signing a long term contractual agreement. • Price. Depending on your download speed, the price of DSL may vary, and be more expensive than Road Runner. With Road Runner, delivering speeds over 100x faster than dial-up, the monthly price can’t be beat. • Speed. Road Runner offers speeds up to 5.0 Mbps downstream and up to 384 Kbps upstream. That’s up to three times as fast as DSL’s standard package!
