    Did you see the game on Century Link (Prism), or just the pre- or post-game shows? Is the quality as good as the alternatives?

    By the time I got home, Game was over. (Pub quiz). Looks like next televised game on CSN isn't until this weekend. I will check it out and let you know.

    You all want Google Fiber. Trust me on that.
    Had it for nearly two years (now have a smaller Fiber provider where I moved to)

    For a real world speed test, I uploaded a 10 GB 4K video file (from an SSD) to Google Drive in less than 2 minutes.

    Anyone else have CenturyLink Prism? Do you like it? Looks like CSN and Pac 12 Network are available with their basic package.

    No, but their commercials always sound to me like they are selling "Prison TV".

    I checked and its not available in my area yet. Crap, guess I'm still stuck with Comcast for now.

    It always takes a few minutes to insert or remove the contraband from my ass, but that still leaves a lot of the day for watching TV.

    i posted that after my initial $255 bill. funny enough after 2 phone calls to bitch they both had the same scripted responses, i just got my second bill and the entire thing was covered by a credit and i still have a credit to almost cover bill # 3. but both scripted responses denied over charging me.

    Thing that pisses me off the most, that you have to renegotiate your bill at least every year. If it went up $10's a month fine, I'd let it slide. But when it doubles for the same service, it gets real old.

    When dealing with Comcast, ask for customer loyalty department immediately. Those people treat you nicely and give you what you want if you're persistent. trust me, it will make your life easier when talking to Comcast
