I don't consider myself lucky. I have had broadband internet access for over 20 years and I have never seen an outage that lasted for more than one day, and that was a cable cut by a construction worker that took a day to repair. With CenturyLink, I have never seen an outage that lasted for more than a few hours in over 4 years. You were just unlucky and your experience is certainly not typical. I fail to see the purpose in bad mouthing a vendor, particularly one that has been nearly 100% reliable for the folks that I know who use them. By the way, your costs will increase dramatically in one year.

If haven't had any problems with CL--consider yourself lucky--we are now paying $70./ month more with X-finity-four boxes, internet and every possible TV station

For us reliability is key
