I'm using Century link without a lan line.All you need is a phone jack so they can put their equipment in line with your phone jacks.I only have it for internet and so far so good.29.99 for 1.5 mbps but if you want to double your speed to 3.0 mbps it will only cost you $5 more a month.As far as TV goes I've had Direct Tv for years and love it!! Hopefully I've been of some help...Mark
