wyantm06 Posted September 26, 2007 CID Share Posted September 26, 2007 Ok I own a second hand store AKA Pawn Shop. I want to get RoadRunner regular like what I got at home for $45 a month there, but the rep on the phone said I am forced to get business class RoadRunner. Is this true? If so that is absolutely ridiculous, because it is $80 a month I was told by the rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted September 26, 2007 CID Share Posted September 26, 2007 It shouldn't be necessary - it's really determined by how you intend to use it. If you're using the connection for business purposes, then yeah, they'll push you towards a business account. If you play it off as for pure personal/pleasure use, you'll have a better bet to get residential. It's all in the user agreement / acceptable use policy dealio. Also, if you may have difficulty getting a 2nd res account if you're looking to put them under the same name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I call and tell them it's for personal use they HAVE to let me get regular RR right? Because I don't want no Verizon, I love RoadRunner all the way.

FallowEarth Posted September 26, 2007 CID Share Posted September 26, 2007 For sure. This is the part of the AUP that i was referring to: [indent] Unless you have specifically subscribed for commercial grade service, the ISP Service is provided to you for personal, non-commercial use only. The service cannot be used for any enterprise purpose whatsoever whether or not the enterprise is directed toward making a profit. If it is your intention to use this service for these purposes, please contact Operator to inquire whether commercial grade service programs are available. [/indent] You should be fine as long as you say it's just intended for pleasure use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyantm06 Posted September 26, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 26, 2007 Ok, I mainly intend to use it for AIM, browsing TestMy.net, Xbox.com, my e-mail and pricing things that come into the store. I may possibly sell things on eBay to, but I doubt it. Still ok to get regular RR? Also, would you by any chance know how much installation is?

FallowEarth Posted September 27, 2007 CID Share Posted September 27, 2007 You should be good. Installation prices differ from area to area....just give a call and ask. It's pretty much non-negotiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyantm06 Posted September 27, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 27, 2007 Ok, in a week I am going to check in on it. I got to get some money again, just got done paying a couple bills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted September 27, 2007 CID Share Posted September 27, 2007 Cool... lemme know how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyantm06 Posted September 28, 2007 Author CID Share Posted September 28, 2007 Well...I ended up calling today and cussing 2 different people out! I was told 2 times that no just because it is a business I HAVE to have business class, and it doesn't matter if I am just using it for personal use. $70 is way to expensive just to get on testmy.net, myspace, and xbox.com a day. I can wait until I get home. Sigh, I hope Verizon comes in my area soon because I am fed up with RoadRunner BS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
