Century Link in South Central Florida
Just curious what other six month Snowbirds do for Phone/Internet in the Sebring, Lake Placid & other parts of the South-Central Florida area where Century Link operates as the Local Carrier.
Here is what we do for starters & our concerns.
1.) We use Century Link for Phone Service & Internet Service, we pay $5 extra a month for 1000 minutes to Canada.
2.) Internet is 10 Meg using regular ADSL service.
3.) We use Tracfone for our cell i.e. $100/year for about 1200 minutes per phone or more minutes depending on the Tracfone offers at the time, calls to Canada can be made using a 1-800 number if necessary.
4.) When leaving in April after our six months stay we put the phone & Internet on "Vacation Hold" at $21/Month US funds.
5.) Our regular monthly bill is $59 plus taxes, fees etc. or about $85 US a month.
6.) Cannot complain about the service as phone quality is as good as we have here in Canada & the Internet runs at 9 to 10 Meg constant.
We are now finding this is very pricey as $85 US is about $113 Canadian a month for landline & Internet service.
What are others doing for their service and if you don't mind telling what you are paying.
Thanks for any comments .....Ernie
