Begging my family to look into CenturyLink with phone, DirecTV and internet.

Anyone have an opinion on their services?

OTA antenna/Netflix for TV
Mediacom for internet
Vonage Lite for home phone (kinda pointless but wife wants it)

Wish I had DirecTV, but not in the budget at this time. Other than that, internet is pretty fast and is a good deal until my intro rate runs out early next year. The Vonage plan I have is cheap so no big deal on that.

I got rid of cable / sat tv awhile ago and haven't missed it one little bit. Between what I can get over the air, hulu, netflix and downloading stuff...really have no need for it. I kind of miss having the Sunday ticket, but it sucked dropping that much money when half the games were either nationally broadcasted or on locally.

T-mobile for phone. I personally like it. Never gave me any problems other than when I was passing through Wisconsin. Never heard of century link.

DirecTV for my TV, obviously. I like it. It doesn't really disconnect when when the weather gets bad. It has to be REALLY bad in order for it to do that. Overall, it's great.

Comcast for internet. It works great for me. extremely fast... doesn't disconnect. The only time i had a problem with it is when it didn't switch to CCS' new server right away.

I have AT&T UVerse for home internet and cable, and AT&T for my wireless -- they've always been great. UVerse TV is the absolute shit, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

Phone - Verizon Wireless. Flawless 4G LTE. Super fast, no complaints.

Internet - Comcast. Pretty fast, not too many complaints there.

TV - Comcast. Jacked the prices up, I hate the DVR (it doesn't hold that much and can only record 2 shows at a time) and it just feels "sluggish" at times.

Internet - FiOS. Used to be Verizon then switched over to Frontier in my area. Service itself is good, but have a lot of mix ups with their billing dept, and their customer service peeps are completely Special person.

DirectTV - Only have them for NFL Sunday Ticket. I kinda hate them. Wish I could switch to someone else, but no other good way to watch Bears games out here, in good quality with regularity.

Sprint - Have a cell through them, no home phone. Price is good, never had a billing issue. Not having LTE is annoying.

TV - DirecTV: Absolutely fantastic. Great HD quality, good price and NFL Sunday Ticket.

Phone - AT&T: No problems with them at all. 4G could be a little faster, but I usually use Wi-Fi, so no big deal.

Internet: Insight: Low price and a good connection. That works for me.

It definitely depends on where you live. I used At&T for phone and internet in the past and it sucked. My internet would literally disconnect every day. sometimes it would happen multiple times in a hour.

Yes I know..my dad works for AT&T..I know all about it.... I'm in the same town as a central office, so it shouldnt be a problem..The thing is they just haven't installed their equipment in my neighborhood yet, despite the rest of the town pretty much having it for the past two years.

Sorry, Scoot. I know it sounded like I was directing my post at you, but I was just saying that in general haha. 'cause JosMin and Uman both said they're happy with AT&T, but I've had a terrible experience with it. I know you mentioned that you don't like Comcast, but my experience with Comcast has been great. Idk if it's location that makes a difference, but it seems like it might.

I've got the entire AT&T phone/internet/TV package. U-Verse is the best thing ever, and the internet and phone are serviceable. There was just a regional outage a couple days ago, but besides that, everything has worked great since I got it over a year ago.

Has anyone else noticed that putting aluminium foil on the rabbit ears doesn't help the signal anymore? When did that happen?

I got that 4G LTE thing on my cell phone; think it stands for Lawfully Tapped Electronic but I don't remember signing anything that said that per se'
