Internet Service Provider

The Resume

    (1995- )
    High-speed cable internet service
    Founded and operated by Time Warner Cable

Why Road Runner might be annoying:

    Time Warner didn't have to go far in naming their ISP after a Warner Bros. character.
    Time Warner Cable customers can't escape the numerous bad commercials promoting the product.
    It competed with America Online's broadband service, even though they are run by the same company.
    It costs extra to those who are not Time Warner Cable subscribers.
    Microsoft owned a ten-percent interest before Time Warner bought it out.

Why Road Runner might not be annoying:

    Hey, at least the product wasn't named after Wile E. Coyote's favorite company of crap, Acme.
    It was the first broadband cable modem service.
    It stopped competing with AOL - America Online once AOL - America Online started to be packaged with Road Runner (2005).
