Goodbye and Good Riddance CenturyLink

[crays]

Just a quick statement. Not even a rant.

I switched to Ooma telo, and ported my number from my 20+ year old CenturyLink account. Not sure why it took me so long, but I am thrilled to have shuffled the coils of CenturyLink off my back.

As an added bonus, I just mailed them a check for my final balance of 92 cents. That's right. I wrote out and mailed a check for 92 cents. Haha

Just had to say it...

Ooma has been awesome, not one issue in almost a year.... or however long it has been.

Not familiar with ooma. Looked it up and appears to be VOIP. The OP had me thinking you dumped DSL, but now I am guessing you dropped the landline. Who is your internet provider?

[crays]

Have cable broadband. Current provider is Comcast, but I've had the "same" service for about 18 years. It has just changed names 4-5 times.
Never really bundled. I've always had separate phone (Centurylink), TV (DirecTV) and Internet. Been with Directv for about the same length of time, and they're about 2-3 months from getting severed as well.

For the cost, based on home phone traffic, all the Ooma hardware will be paid off on first couple months. If I made more home phone long distance or international calls it would be a total no brainer.
As it is, for the minimal monthly cost to keep my legacy home phone number active via VOIP (maybe slightly higher than one month of landline, for the entire year), it's worth it to me.

I will add, I've always had pretty good broadband service at my house, regardless of who was getting my payments.

Been happy with the call quality of Ooma, so far, as well. I think that correlates directly to your Internet quality, too.

I have saved over $2300 by switching to Ooma. Always works fine for me. Screw Century Stink!
