Good move. Centurylink has been north of 466A for some time now. Some dollars cheaper than Comcast and includes a few more features at the lower price such as All Room DVR service . . . . record in one room and watch it in another. Channel lineup is about the same. One thing worth mentioning is that the true power of fiber optic Prism TV is not available north of 466A since the fiber optic cable was only pulled in up to the neighborhood pool locations when the area was first developed. Copper wire was run from the pool area to the houses in the neighborhood which down grades the signal when compared to an uninterrupted fiber optic run. The picture is still an improvement over Comcast. South of 466A Centurylink was able to run their fiber optic cable right up to the entry box outside the house thus providing uninterrupted fiber optic television.
