Not a big fan of Comcast...however they are the best provider here in TV....especially Internet access and speed.

We have BrightHouse for both and have been very pleased. We weren't going to shave a landline, but since Brighthouse offered one for $10 per month (unlimited long distance) we added that also. Total for all three is aroun $120 per month. Internet is very fast and reliable - no problems thus far. (But, Brighthouse is only available south of 466a). Welcome home - soon!!

Depends on how much you use the internet in terms of downloading big files, etc.

For it's limitations, Centurlink has provided a reliable product. I am not a heavy duty user.

Many people complain of poor cusomer service with Comcast.

I have Comcast, but I find they nickel-dime you each month. But I have to say, the quality is good. The cost is the bummer!!!!!

Century Link, Prism is Outstanding record up to 4 programs at a time, I can watch Downton Abbey in one room while my wife watches the Hallmark Channel in another which is a big deal for me. Why ? The Hallmark Channel with that Irritating background music drives me Crazy.

Not into recording shows, but how is their price compared to Comcast, and how many stations per package?

We just moved here in January and had Comcast put in. Our first bill was well over $300. Our second bill was well over $300. We had triple play with them. When I called to ask why our second bill was over $300 when we just have the first step up over basic plan I was told it was more installation fees. I said I paid them all in the first bill. She said it was more. Right about that time Centurylink came around offering Prism. We just had it installed last week and I can't tell you how pleased we are. The internet speed is much faster and the tv quality is outstanding vs Comcasts good. If you're asking my druthers - I wouldruther have Centurylink!!
