They said for the additional $15 they will give me about 15 channels which I don't need as I have them all with my Direct TV. I then checked with Century Link and they will give me the Internet for $45 with never increasing the rate. Simple business question..If you have Comcast or Century Link what does your experience say to do. One last consideration Comcast says they deliver 100 Data rate vs Century Link at 25. Century asserts the 100 from Comcast is shared among many homes so the actual rate is how many are on their systems. Ceuntry Link say their 25 is only for the home and is not shared

We have had 1 1/2 years of great internet service from Century Link (CL) after 2 years of poor service (many, many short, interuptive outages) from Comcast. Only one CL outage when a critter chewed through the line before it was buried. We pay $65 for life for 100Mb service. (thats it just $65.)

Should say that this is fiber optic service.
