   I also have Centurylink as an ISP and have a block of static IP's from them.   
   The biggest problem is not them coming out to fix or replace something as they   
   usually send a tech out in 1-2 days. The biggest gripe that I have is their   
   phone based tech support. One can tell that they are reading what they are   
   saying from a printed page. And if the conversation varies from what the page   
   covers then they get lost and confused. One gets put on hold repeatedly also.   
      
   I will agree that there are not a lot of capable alternatives available in   
   this area.
