That's interesting. It is extremely rare to have internet outages with CenturyLink. You might want to consider a different, more reliable provider. More contemporary services such as the IPTV offerings treat everything as IP packets.

In fact, you can actually turn off or disconnect the Comcast modem and still have their cable TV service.
