| yes if centurytel is the rural future then I'll just stay in the past. Those thugs thrive on monopoly status and know nothing about competition. I see them getting broken up in a few years. They are the primary reason rural broadband penetration is so bad. |

Dont even go there. You dont know what it is like to have a rural at&t phone line. It sucks, all I get is 19.2k dailup at the house with never seeing anything better than that. |

I see them getting broken up in a few years. They are the primary reason rural broadband penetration is so bad. Perhaps it's more because of their predecessors, but I have yet to have any complaint with CenturyTel in any of the markets in which I've dealt with them.
They went above and beyond making my dry pair SDSL work out in Colorado. When we couldn't make it work at first, they were perfectly happy to let me bring one of my modems to the CO and test to see which half of the line was giving us trouble.
We have their DSL service out in Alabama, and it's been well within the expected reliability. Not the best, but better than some I've seen and our facility there is located a couple of miles out of town.
The sad thing is that the DSL's reliability is only slightly worse than the T1 we have.

| I agree with this guy, they need to sell off all rural areas to the local clec, lec, or coop that actually gives a damn about providing service to rural/country communities and not making a buck. |
