I have a few clients using roadrunner - clean is a relative term. I'd
rather use dialup. At least Verizon doesn't block business email as
spam, irrelevant of what the user has to say about it. They've cost my
clients hundreds of dollars and won't even return their phone calls.
Every time I see one of those cable internet ads on TV I have to
laugh.
