It seems similar to Verizon Fios that we have here in Maryland. If you're a fan of HD like myself, it seems to be a compromise between Comcast and Directv. I counted about 65 HD channels on the Prism lineup, compare that to Comcast's about 50 HD channels and with Directv I get about 110.

On the premium channels it's about the same number of HD channels on HBO & Cinemax, I believe it was 6 HD and 4 HD. However, on Showtime and Starz they are lacking, Directv has 10 HD Showtime and 8 HD Starz channels where Prism only has 2 each. That's where Comcast is a joke only giving you 1 HD channel on each premium service.

I also noticed that after the first 3 months you have to add $11.99 a month for HD service, even on the best package. With Century Link you can still bundle Directv with the internet, landline and Verizon cellphone. So I'll have to check that all out when I move there in July.
