My daughter has RoadRunner in Charlotte. My take is that you could do much 
worse than do business with them in general. I'm not real impressed with 
the tech support people I've had to work with, but  generally we get 
things fixed in the end.

My Opinion? (And worth every cent you paid for it...) You should be able 
to function just fine if you keep your expectations modest regarding 
support personel.

All the usual disclaimers apply - IMHO, IANAL, YMMV, and so forth.
