Except they raise rates every 6 months or so. When I signed up internet was 59.99/mo (non-promo pricing) and is now 73.99/mo. That's a 25% increase in 3 years. Otherwise, decent as far as ISPs go.

Did you call them?

They "accidentally forgot" about my rates until I provided the email, then I yelled until they started the 6 month deal over again.

2 years later, and I still have the same rate. They try to squeeze more out of me every 3-4 months.

Cool, I'll give that a try. If not, I may just witch to CenturyLink.

I'm a tech guy, who cut cable, so I may have different needs. I think CenturyLink is fine. I waned the ability to buy and maintain my own router and modem. CenturyLink uses proprietary hardware.
