I can't say I've had any experience with CL's fiber in particular.
I can say that I'm favorably impressed with DSL service since CL took
over. While they decided to start blocking port 25 on consumer accounts
recently (6/27 to be specific), I recently converted to a static IP
address and things couldn't have gone more smoothly. It was *all* done
through the web, with no need for any contact with a human (sounds bad,
but is typically good). The new address was picked up automagically by
pppoe. I was then able to unblock port 25 and even set rDNS with the web
interface. All for $25 setup fee plus $5.95 per month extra. Not bad
considering with Cox you need a business account (starts at about $88/mo
incl taxes) in order to have a static address.
As far as fiber's concerned, I visited a relative in Dallas recently who
had fiber with Internet/TV/Phone all over the fiber. I don't think their
provider was CL, but they said the service was flawless (and they're not
technical at all).
I would definitely give CL's fiber serious consideration.

I saw such reviews online, but all seemed to be regarding when they ran
as Qwest. I'm hoping to hear from a recent customer that knows if the
new management/rebranding has improved anything.
Putting aside the billing problems, how was the service itself?

My experience dates back to the qwest/uswest says where "features"
would magically appear on my account. Things like vm and long distance
on my modem line ect. So i have really had very little interest in
going back.

CenturyLink recently laid fiber in my area and is pitching their
new Internet/DirectTV service. Does anyone have recent experience
with CenturyLink's fiber offering or with DirectTV as well? It
looks like I could save a good amount every month and could even
get a faster speed, so I'm strongly considering it.
Yelp reviews are awful, but so are the Cox Cable ones (my current
provider), so I'm seeking any firsthand comments or experiences.
Thanks,
Mark
