I have CenturyLink via fiber optic to the house. I have faster nominal performance (40 Megabits/sec download and 20 Megabits/sec upload). With fiber, they give you an IP address at the wall as the electronics are in the ONT on the outside of your house. Buy your own router or lease theirs. It is very reliable. Higher speeds are available (100 Megabit/sec and 1000 Megabit/sec) but 40/20 is already overkill - it was part of a deal.

Anybody have experience with Century Link at the 25Mbps speed?

By the way, I would appreciate it if you could fight the urge to turn this into a Comcast bashing thread. I know their customer service is not loved by all, but I've been satisfied with the internet service for a couple years. No major complaints...just looking to save a few bucks. I'll probably even call them and see if they can do something like a price-match for a while. If they could, I'd stay with them.

But right now I'm just looking for opinions on Century Link (25Mbps).

Thanks.
