We have Brighthouse here in Sanibel, too. We had them in Orlando,and were very happy to sign up with them here too.

I have Century Link for internet and home phone (unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block) since July last year and the total for both $59.99, with tax about $74. We use Directv and had no problems with them either, I just signed up for NFL Sunday Ticket this coming season, which only Directv has. This year it's down to $199 if you can live without the 'Red Zone' channel.

John what was your up load speed? you mention your download was 10.5. Another question, I thought Century Link was hooked up to Direct TV but they didn't mention that in their presentation.

Glad to hear what you bought is what you are getting for speed. I must be near you? I'm in Tamarind Grove-

Yes but only to the newer sections in TV.

I just did another test this Friday morning. Download was 10.30 and upload was 0.76 ping 65 ms.

I signed up with them in person at their office on 441 in front of Target July of last year they mentioned that they were connected with Directv, however after they brought out Prism TV that kind of went off the radar. I believe they initially said I would get $5 a month off my Directv bill and within a year they would be able to combine their bill with my Directv bill, that hasn't happend and I've never pursued the $5 discount.

Carguys we're in Southern Star Villas, which is across St. Charles on the opposite end of Tamarind Grove Blvd. Near the Southern Star course and Sterling Heights rec center.

I asked this question on another thread, but did not get a reply there. How do you determine whether or not you have fiber optic phone cabling? We are in Pennecamp, the neighborhood is 2-3 yrs old.

Not 100% foolproof, but if the cable into the house is round, it's probably copper coax. If it's flat, it's probably fiberoptic. The fiber cable may also have printing on the outside indicating glass fiber.
