We've had Century Link internet and landline phone since July 2011 and we've experience only one outage of our internet a few months ago for about 45 minutes. Our service has no modem, they refer to it as 'to the curb'. We plug our router directly into a telephone wall jack, it's a special 2 port jack on a kitchen wall. One is for the internet and the other for home phone. We have 10 mpbs internet speed and I've never had it test below 9.0 speed. Our service is $59.99 a month and with tax it runs just about $75, that includes the phone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block. We have Directv for our television. We live off of St. Charles near Sterling Heights Rec Center in the Village of Tamarind Grove, which is about a half mile north of CR 466A.

I have never found a need to switch to anyone else. Earlier we had a bad experience with Comcast back in Maryland so we had switched from cable TV to Directv and to Verizon for internet. Home phone and internet were much cheaper with Verizon but unfortunately they only have cell phone service here. We stayed with Directv and hooked up with Century Link when we moved here in July 2011 and have no complaints.
