RUN AS FAST AS YOU CAN AWAY FROM CENTURYLINK. IF you have a different option, do it. BtW, when you do try to get rid of CENTURYLINK, you will see the real side of that company and how they operate. We had the chance to switch to mi-fiber and haven't looked back.
Eh, we've had CL fiber GB service for the last 3 years with very few issues. We pay $65/month (after taxes/fees) and that's the "price for life", so it doesn't increase every year or 2. In the past year I remember 2 times it's gone down for more than 2 minutes.
