| Overall, Positive! My overall experience with Embarq has been very very positive; little to no down time (caused by them), and problems have been fixed in a short order...I'm on their 10 meg package and get around 9880-9900k down and 800-830k up (package is supposed to be around 896k up, so I think I'm doing quite well). Latency is excellent, since I'm on FastPath; I usually ping Google at around 32ms.
The most recent down-time I had was, in fact, my fried modem, so it's not Embarq's fault, at all.
In any event, I'm a bit leery of CenturyTel, and this merger, but I'm not going to throw my paws up in the air and say "screw it all, government, come protect me! Stop this from happening!"
It'll be interesting to see what happens; hopefully this new company will head in the right direction, and I think they definitely have that capability and potential!  | |

Kalispell, MT | As well you should be, as well you should be. CenturyTel is horrible. High prices, bad service, money spent lobbying the FCC and congress to tax VoIP services into oblivion. None of the major consumer VoIP services here in Kalispell, MT (CenturyTel territory) but they do in the rest of the state, even much smaller towns (almost all Qwest territory). Back in the days of dial-up, none of the national dial-up ISPs were available here. I don't know how CenturyTel does it, but they manage to keep the competition far away from them while they rip their customers off.
And their $25/month DSL package that most of their customers have is 256/128k. Seriously. | |
