I thought that too but my neighbor had Century Link Prism here in Lynnhaven and due to a Saturday lightning strike at about 8:10 P.M. June 7, 2014, their internet and TVs both went out. They could not get it back until yesterday, June 11, 2014, after Century Link had spent days try to fix it. They had to trace the whole cable connections to find the defective part. Neighbor's cell phones were fried too. They were in their charging units.
