LOL I just wonder how Simon plans to get Verizon FIOS in Century Tel territory. Verizon will not be overbuilding into other carrier's territories.
Exactly. No such luck there bro. As for blocking the websites you mentioned, there is nothing on CenturyTel's service that blocks those sites.

You're right, though. They can be pricey, unless there's competition in the area. Heck, it wasn't too long ago that $50 would have only gotten you 512/128!

I wonder if there's been a management change or something, because they keep lowering prices and adding features. Like I said, though, it may be because there is real competition where I live.

Either way, I've been very happy with them.

The goal of the broadcast engineer is to get all the meters on the transmitter to go as far to the right as possible!!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Should-Be-Better-18136188 Sun, 08 Apr 2007 10:55:07 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Should-Be-Better-18128789
I've had Centurytel's DSL internet service (1.5 MBPS) for about 2 years now. When we moved here, we had Centurytel's dial-up service, however when DSL was available we jumped on it. At first I loved the speed, but 2 years later it's pretty slow. Right now I'm considering switching to Road Runner since it is 5 MBPS VS. 1.5 MBPS and it is only $5 more per month for 12 months (after 12 months the price raises from $34.95 to $44.95).

Here are some things I'd like to add: First off, Centurytel's customer support is absolutely terrible. You usually get very rude people, people who don't know what they are talking about, or people who don't seem happy to help. They also require a social security number for every small task, even adding an e-mail account. Second, there are parental controls built into the internet, so you have to call to turn them off. These controls block popular sites such as Google Video and YouTube.

As soon as Verizon FiOs service becomes available in my area I'll be getting their 15 MBPS service.

Thanks,
Simon :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Should-Be-Better-18128789 Fri, 06 Apr 2007 18:34:24 EDT
