I'm sure hoping so.

Thanks!

Is that just Internet Service or Land line Phone and Internet bundle?

I agree that broadband Internet in this area is outrageously priced compared to other, umm, more developed areas of the country with more competition.

I use Century Link and I have Directv (I get a small discount on my Directv because it is 'bundled' Century Link) as well. My Internet (10mb) and land line phone cost a total of $79/mo. I could lower that about $20/mo if I dropped the Internet speed to 3mb, but, I'm spoiled from FIOS in Northern Va where I was getting 35mb 9and could have had 75mb down/35mb up if I wanted to pay for it), I like my 10mb speed.


Century Link also has an offering similar to Verizon FIOS TV/Internet/Phone but I have about a year left on my 2 yr contract with Directv. I may give it a try when the contract with Directv expires. I do love my NFL Sunday Ticket though.
You'd have to check to see if it is offered in your area.
