I believe the following is true. Prism is a so-called "IPTV" offering - TV through your internet connection. I believe they use the Cisco boxes and Microsoft's Media Center software. We have had this from another company in GA and it worked great. Typically, it can be provided through copper wires if you are close enough to a switching station or through fiber optic cable. There is a minimum bandwidth requirement which is why you need to be close enough to a switching station (bandwidth through copper wires drops with distance from a switching station). With fiber optic cables, no such restriction typically exists because fiber offers lots of bandwidth.

Finally got it when they started installing the underground cables this spring. So you would have to call Century Link to find out if it is available in any specific area.
