Please tell me there is life after Comcast....and no Directv is no better.
I live in the northern Villages where Internet options and pricing sucks, but I did find a reasonable compromise. I was sick and tired of Comcast price increases and all of my neighbors who had CenturyLink said stay away.

I have CenturyLink up north with great pricing, service, and speed, so I kept checking back to see if they were ever going to upgrade their service here. I finally stumbled across a rep who knew what he was talking about. He said I could get twisted-pair service in my neighborhood for $49 per month for 40MB service. I thought, what do I have to lose, so I tried it even though the speed is slower and the price higher than my other CenturyLink service.

I get an honest and consistent 35MB with my DSL, which is more than enough speed for any streaming service. It's been totally reliable for the three months I've had it.
