RCN

RCN is a legacy U.S. cable and internet provider name tied to RCN Corporation (originally “Residential Communications Network”), historically offering broadband internet, cable TV, and voice services in multiple metro areas. Public references also note its later transition under the Astound Broadband brand in several markets.

PeeringDB lists Astound Broadband/Astound Business as the umbrella branding for networks that previously operated under RCN, alongside other regional operators. Public ASN references for the broader Astound/Wave side include AS11404 and AS22759, while third-party ASN listings also show an “RCN-AS” label on AS6079; mapping between these labels and current operations is not consistently described in open sources.

Online feedback is visible but skewed negative in major review hubs, with recurring complaints about billing changes, promo expirations, and reliability/outages; positive notes appear less frequently and are often conditional.
