(see, stupid) So 40$ is about what it will cost me and that is for a fast, broadband line? Thank you for the reply.
Hey there Western NYer....
If 39.99 a month is doable for you, I would DEFINETLY go with Time Warner Road Runner. I believe Rochester's only other choice is Frontier DSL (I don't think Verizon services are avalible in Rochester) DSL is OK, but I think whether you are using it for JUST online gaming or PC stuff as well you will be very happy with Road Runner (again, if the $$$ is ok with you)

Hello MrMagoo and Leechboy.
Thank you for the advice. I got a couple of good replies before you two but it's always great to get info from someone in your exact location. Thank you both again for the advice. If I end up getting a sevice we will have to play a bit.

Ok. Finally it worked. 
Either I was typing something wrong or "the system" got it's shit together.
Now...let me go back and read what a Diamond Card does.

Regarding Time Warner's Roadrunner service, I'm extremely happy with their blazing internet speed.

WTF shipping method are they using where a regular size envelope takes 3 weeks shipping time? Especially since it is ALREADY on the way.So it really wasn't 8 weeks, really 11, but who's counting.

As junkie said, people are starting to get confirmation emails about this. Joystiq posted about it a few days ago:

I haven't gotten the email yet, but hopefully I will soon.

I've already used mine to get a free sub from Quizno's with the b1g1 coupon that came with it. Not a bad deal.

I should be getting mine very soon. The 2 for 1 at Hollywood Video will come in handy. I believe that deal is also for games, right?
My understanding is when you get your card, you log into the site and view the current deals. And then you print off a coupon to use for that specific deal?

Got mine in the mail Monday. It's neat looking. Anyway, it says it expires in 2007. Will we get new ones or is this a one time deal?
