CenturyLink pissed me off last week, when I learned they raised my Price for Life package price by $6/month. Discussion with their folks didn't get me anywhere, other than more annoyed. I mean, we're still in the stone age with the landline, and 10Mb/s DSL. We had paid $59.90/month for the past 8 years and now it's raised to $65.90. Add taxes and fees and we're at $90/month.
Fast forward a couple days, we have our Ooma set up, purchased our Premier annual plan, a few accessories from their current 50% off sale, and the port request for our home phone number has been initiated.
A few weeks ago, because DD (who recently moved home) was complaining constantly about how slow the DSL was (though DW and I were fine with it) we had Comcast turn on the cable internet. They gave us a great promo for 200Mb/s service of $39.99/month (includes all fees and taxes) for the first year, and $49.99/month for the second year. A couple of their guys were actually just here this morning finishing the install burying a new cable line for us from the telephone pole to the house.
Now the DSL modem is unplugged and we're entirely on the cable modem.
Really looking forward to being off of the landline soon.
