In Tamarind Grove we've had Century Link internet 10mbps speed and landline with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block for $59.99 a month, with tax it's usually $75. We've never had an internet outage or slow down, we have what the call 'to the curb', there is no modem, my router plugs straight into the wall jack.
We did negotiate a couple of times. Initially in July 2011 we had 2.5 mpbs and they said our first bill would be about $100. When it arrived the bill was $205, I called customer service, which they said was in Orlando. They transferred me to a supervisor in Charlotte who dropped my initial bill to $100 and raised my internet speed to the current 10mpbs.
In 2012 they called us four months in a row to see if we wanted Prism TV. Each time I said I'm very happy with Directv and you should know that, and please put me on the Prism do not call list. The fourth time I said I'm going to switch to Comcast if you don't stop your telemarketing calls, that when they added 'Call Block' to my telephone service for free. Now I can put a dozen numbers that are blocked, comes in handy with all the telemarketing calls we get in Florida.
