Can you split the two? At our house it was cheaper to buy DSL without anything else, than pay Time Warner the incremental cost for RoadRunner. Well, and Time Warner had serious rain fade due to an ongoing maintenance issue... We have been streaming-only for a few years now - I have a PlayOn server set up on a computer downstairs, and PS3s on the televisions. Our 3Mb pipe is enough for two streams in a pinch, as long as you let one buffer before you start watching. I highly recommend it if you're willing to geek out during the setup, and everything you want to watch is available on Hulu / Netflix / ESPN / Nick / CBS / MLB / etc. A couple years ago PlayOn was very much a beta program, but it has stabilized as video providers have locked down APIs, and I have had very few complaints (from SWMBO/CWMBI) of late.
