Time Warner Cable's Road Runner Service is celebrating its ten year anniversary this month. The service was officially launched in a high-profile event on Sept. 10, 1996 in Akron, Ohio. Time Warner Cable had initially tested the service in 1995 in Elmira, New York, and after the formal launch, rolled out the service to its customers nationwide over the next two years.
Since 1996, Road Runner has grown into an award-winning broadband service used by millions of people while the cost for the service has remained as low as $39.95. Features now include remote access, multiple e-mail accounts, free broadband content, security software, parental controls, instant messaging, video mail, PhotoShow Deluxe, personal Web space and optional wireless service. Download speeds have grown from approximately 1-1.5 mbps to 5-10 mbps, varying by location. While Road Runner customers have always had access to local content, users can now also customize the site to meet their needs.
