Yesterday on this thread I had wrote that my Century Link internet and phone has never been out after four years. Here's a slight update, 30 minutes after I wrote that it went out. Two hours ago a Century Link technician just came and fixed the problem. Apparently a couple of days ago lightning struck our telephone line somewhere. Our system has a backup battery in the garage, so in case of a power failure such as during a hurricane, you won't lose your telephone. Unfortunately the lightning fried the battery just enough so that it worked for a couple of days but then gave out. Century Link came the next day and fixed it, no problem.
