I'm s/o 466 and have century link internet..I do NOT have their tv as I know someone that has it and the service is very poor. Even worse than Comcast...I have Dish and love it...Nothing bundled here..LOL

probably because the infrastructure development is cheaper to do in the area now being built; probably so that advertising can be spent in a concentrated area of new homes/subscribers rather than trying to convert residents who already have one service or another; probably because ccenturylink already offers basic services on the historic side and it it not an economic priority right now?

all of the above?
none of the above?

When I looked at Prism last summer, on the premium channels for example HBO and Cinemax you only got 2 each in HD whereas with Directv we get 8 HBO channels in HD and 8 HD Cinemax channels. We don't have Showtime or Starz but Directv gives you 10 each of those two in HD. So if I'm paying $25 for HBO/Cinemax I want to watch movies in HD, with Prism you only would get a total of 4 in HD compared to 16 with Directv, so we went with Directv since we were happy with them up north. As it turns out, only Directv has NFL Sunday ticket so I was able to watch all the NFL games last season, so I'm glad I stayed with Directv for that reason as well.

I changed to Prism . Had Direct and Dish and never again .So far Prism is great over 100 channels HD not that I care. Only thing is about ever 3 weeks turn of router and reboot some times the tv will freeze other than that love it.
