CenturyLink would not be my first choice in an older area where they do not support fiber to the house. For the post I was responding to, the person does have fiber to the house. My service through CenturyLink is very reliable and they deliver the nominal download and upload bandwidth consistently. With the fiber to the house service, the "modem" is actually the ONT box on the outside of the house. You can use your own router or the CenturyLink router inside the house. In the last 7 years, I only remember a handful of interruptions and none were over a few hours. With 80 megabits per second, I have much more bandwidth than I can take advantage of. 80 megabits per second was the sweet spot in their one-price-for life offering (for us it is $45 per month including all taxes and fees).

T-Mobile beats it pretty good and the CenturyLink modem I have to reset daily as my service goes from about 85 down to about 20. It is nerve-wracking. When it was installed I got about 140, but the installer said they'll never let me keep that. Sure enough, within a day I was down to about 85, which is all they 'guarantee; with the 100G service.
