I currently have Comcast for my internet. I recently switched to DirecTV for my TV service (very glad I did) which caused my internet bill to go from $25 per month to $35 per month for 1.5 mb service.

I went to the CenturyLink store this week and was told that I could get the same service from them for about $30 per month for the first year and $50 per month after that (that is with the $5 per month DirecTV discount). Plus I would have to pay installation and activation charges. Also, several people here have told me that CenturyLink is noticeably slower than cable.

I hate Comcast but guess I'll be staying with them for now. CenturyLink might make sense if you bundle with phone service. I'm keeping my $15 per month cell service.
