On a side note I have never heard anything good about Century Link Cable.
I don't believe there is a cable offering from CenturyLink, so not sure how you could have heard anything good or bad about it. CenturyLink offers DSL and Fiber. DSL is old and is slowly being phased out. I would never recommend anyone to get DSL.

Their fiber, on the other hand, works extremely well. I've had both Comcast cable and CenturyLink Fiber for several years (at different times of course), and both have performed very well. I was able to work remote with either - no issues. I'm on CL fiber now because it's faster, cheaper, and fiber is far more reliable speed wise than cable.
