The worst internet provider I have ever dealt with in my life. I would never encourage someone to try this service ever. I payed for internet service and then had to wait two weeks just to be denied by a lazy technician that said I couldn't get service because there was no new ports for service in my area. My neighbor and people surrounding me has centurylink but I can't get it its such a terrible service.
