I think with internet you get what you pay for. If you are unhappy with your speed on Comcast you can call and change your package to a higher speed. I've heard mixed reviews on here for Century Link internet. Comcast seems to be quite reliable although they are a pain inn the butt to work with over the telephone. Here is a link to check your Comcast speed XFINITY Speed Test (http://speedtest.comcast.net/)

Check to see you are currently getting the speed you are paying for. Good luck.

In our neighborhood of Pennecamp, Century Link offers DSL at 3 mbps (megabits per second) and 10 mbps. They don't offer 20 mbps because we don't have fiber optic to the curb. I was used to Comcast 20 mbps at our last home, so 3 was disappointing for emails with attachments and for downloading files. At some point, CL offered 10 at for the price of 3, so I upgraded. Now it's acceptably fast. Since we don not do streaming movies, I do not know if 10 is sufficient for that.

It has been very reliable.

I have comcast's Blast Plus package. I have 56 mbps on the standalone computer and 21 mbps on the wi fi. I am installing a new router to see if I can get faster on the wi fi.

I have had Century Link Prism for about a year. So far no problems, and customer service is satisfactory. Internet is at least as fast as Comcast.
