1. What is not cool
is their email. Don't use it. They claim it has spam protectors but I was getting 75 emails a day, mostly from porn sites. So I went back to using Yahoo and get no porn.

2. Agreed. The installer even told me not to use their e-mail.
Other than that, it's blazing fast. I love it.

3. I don't have that problem
Haven't gotten a spam email yet, and I've hed it for 6 months.
What is not cool is that RR isn't as fast as they claim. IMO DSL is faster here.

8. They do update it though
periodically and I can tell when they have done that. It gets faster.

9. Yahoo rocks
I also have several email accounts. One for family and friends, one for DU and other political fourms and one for professional stuff.
