I've had Century Link for home phone and internet since July 2011, only had one outage in all that time. That was about 4 months ago, a tech came out that day and said we had a lightning strike. Century Link had installed a backup battery in the garage in the event of a power failure we will still have phone and internet. Apparently lightning hit outside jumped to the phone line and knocked out the battery. Once he replaced the battery service came right back.

We have internet with no modem, we just plug our router or computer directly into the wall jack. They call that 'to the curb'. We're just north off 466A near Seabreeze Rec Center. I've been very happy with their service, could be a little cheaper. We pay $59.99 before taxes for 10 mpbs internet and telephone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block.
