CenturyLink/Qwest?
Does anyone have CenturyLink/Qwest for internet services? If so, have you been happy with their service? Their ads make it seem like they're significantly cheaper than mediacom.
Re: CenturyLink/Qwest?
While we don't have internet @ home, my mom's had Qwest for YEARS! And has never had an issue. They live in the country, so service isn't always the greatest, but they've always had internet-given the power isn't out.

We use them and I have been really happy with our service. A couple weeks ago on a Sunday I had some trouble with internet not working. They had somebody out the next morning and fixed it quickly. That is the only time we have had trouble so far and we have had them about a year.
I had Qwest DSL for a few years before DH and I moved in together. I always had better service with DSL than we have with cable, and it was cheaper. I couldn't convince him to switch and I'm not passionate enough about where we get our internet to make a big issue out of it, but if it were entirely up to me, we'd switch to DSL. Helps that I lived in an established neighborhood about a mile from a Qwest hub.
We've been with Qwest/CL since late 2006. We started having some major internet issues early this year, dropping out and really slow. We ended up upgrading our service to get home phone service and the bundled package had better speed. Didn't quite fix the issue, so I had to call a few times, and it ended up being an equipment issue on their part, which they fixed very quickly. Usually the first person I talk to when calling is the idiot, but then once I get transferred to an actual service tech, it's ok. DH is a computer programmer, so we know what's wrong when we call. The tech people who have come out have been very respectful and courteous, professional and nice.
I even got good service when we upgraded our bundle, then the next week they offered a better price for a better internet speed and more phone features. I called, and they upgraded us to the intro/new mbr price, no issues.
So we've had some issues, but none that were deal breakers.
We've had Qwest since July 2008. My brother works for them, so whenever I have had a problem he can tell me exactly what number to call. We've had issues twice but once it was our issue (wiring in house when we moved in) and the other was fixed quickly.
As far as I can tell it's cheapest when we don't have cable or land line.
For those experiencing temporary issues- I know when the switch was made, my brother started working tons of overtime fixing/updating things (he's a tech in CB), so I am not sure if everything is the same here.
