Unless you plan on doubling your bill for worthless TV and slow internet, do not use Direct TV and CenturyLink. It looks great and all the discounts make sense, but after 12 months both companies practically double your bill. For example, I started off paying about $ 55 for Direct TV and $ 35 for CenturyLink internet. Not bad for the package and it made sense since Suddenlink charged the same price for less channels and slower internet. At the 12-month anniversary my cable jumped to $ 105 and internet to $ 70 — and no, this was the basic package for internet and the select package for cable. Even after talking with the loyalty program, I still pay $ 87 for the entertainment package — which is crap. No chance I’m wasting money on the internet service which is also crap. My recommendation — stay with Suddenlink or Time Warner. If you choose Direct TV and CenturyLink, read the fine print(contract for 2 years, discounts only for 1 year).
