I love Directv, the DVR and the NFL Package, I couldn't live without them. I have never in 9 years received a telemarketing call from Directv.

I have Centurylink for phone and internet and I use to get telemarketing calls for their Prism TV and after the third time in 3 months, I said I want 'call block' added to my phone at no charge. They added it 2 days later.

Once I had a problem with my notebook computer, it started asking for a logon when I powered the computer on and I couldn't get past that page, and I never had a password. I called Centurylink and explained the problem to their internet tech support. They said for $15 a month we have technical support for all your connected computers. I thought about for a minute, and then they said, you can sign up today and cancel tomorrow. I said go ahead, they took control of my computer and I sat and watched as they moved the mouse around and fixed the problem, it took about 10 minutes. The next day I called and cancelled tech support and there was zero charges on my usual monthly Centurylink bill. In almost six years I've had zero problems with Centurylink and my bill has never changed from the original $59.99 a month.
