I've posted here before about the difference in transmission speed between Century Link or any of the phone companies and the cable service provided by Comcast. I hate Comcast's clumsy customer service interface, but their internet service is more than twice as fast as Century Link's. At my house in Mallory, I get internet downloads from Comcast that are 25-26 Mbps, compared to a maximum of 10 Mbps from any of the phone line service providers. That's OK if all you intend to do is use e-mail and some light web-surfing. But if you intend to do online gaming, movie or TV watching, or heavier-duty web-surfing, it's almost a certainty that you will not be happy with Century Link or any of the phone line based internet providers.
