We have Century Link for internet only via fiber to the house. We are pretty happy with them. We are south of 466A. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Interested in knowing what people think of Century Link for cable and phone.

I have a 24 hour-a-day line monitor measuring pings on my Comcast isp. Looks like Thursday was somewhat of a glitchy day for Comcast.

Haven't had problems with the tv, although I don't watch it that much. I have been unable to access my email for 3 days now.

After five years of frustration with Comcast tv, we switched to DTV and we love it.

I kept Comcast for broadband and am continually frustrated with the service. On a mission to find another ISP!

That's good to hear Fumar....I have to do my annual battle with Comcast next week when my "promotion" expires. If they don't offer me equal or lesser cost for same package, I will go elsewhere...either DTV or Century Link. I have had Comcast here and in MD for close to 30 years and it's never been a pleasant experience dealing with their customer service. I dread making that call. Products are decent, though I think their HD picture quality is so so, but customer service stinks.

I have spent over 5 hours trying to get Comcast to honor the contract agreement that I made with them in Nov. I was to have the same rate for the next 2 years, the price would not change, IF I agreed to the 2 years. I said yes. The very next bill had a $26.55 increase. I even have the transcript in writing with the offer!

Spent another 1.5 hours trying to get that fixed, they said whoever made that deal with me should NOT have done that and would not honor it the deal. BUT said I could NOT cancel the 2 year contract.

HA! Watch me. I am done with Comcast. Since 2010, my rates went from the $99 "New Customer Deal" to over $210.00 a month for EXACTLY the same service. I have not added anything to our service!

I really would be interested in Bright House from everything I have read on here, but they do not have service above 466. So who is the best and most reasonable priced service for those above 466?

No internet service for the past 12 hours with Comcast.
Since we have VOIP phone service, we didn't have a phone either.
We spent an hour on our cell phone getting the internet service turned back on -- no excuse offered by Comcast.
I am done with Comcast and looking for the best alternative for TV/internet.

We watch lots of free on demand movies and Comcast gave us a selection of probably over a 100 and Century Link gave us 9. Add to that that Century Link usually about once a week lost the picture and we had to call,and go thru the routine to restore it. I've gone back to Comcast and am so far happy.
