I have made a decision with the help of your input.

I visited the Century Link "store" in the Rolling Acres mall. It was refreshing to talk to knowledgeable people face to face. All of my questions were answered and a complete breakdown of the services provided along with costs. However, I decided to stay with Comcast until October when my current plan comes up for "renewal". I have been on a six month promotional rate for a long time. Each time it expires I call Comcast and convince them to continue that rate.

Based on our viewing habits both providers are equal and there is little difference cost-wise. Prism's download speed is a little faster and predictable but at our level it would be of little advantage. I like the fact they have a local "store". They have a few more bells and whistles that may be more to my liking in the future.

It won't take much to tip the scales in favor of Prism in October.

Thanks to all of you for your helpful input.
