I use RCN and am pretty happy with the service. I think I've had 4
outages with them (to the best of my knowledge) in the past 2 years I've
been with them. Two of the times was due to line problems in my area
which the fixed in a day, the other two were DNS server problems they
had. If you get the normal package (dynamic IP) you won't be able to run
mail or web servers on the noraml ports. However, if you move to a
static IP you can do that.  Sadly, they charge $20/month for a static
IP. The speed is good as most days I'm getting about 3mb down and around
864 up, YMMV. 

Hope that helps
