Has anyone else made the switch here in Benson? Are we talking real fiber? Or is it just Fiber to the node and coax running out to the houses?

At this point, anything might be better, especially if it's going to be a THIRD of the price of Cox.
What will the price be after intro pricing runs out?

I'm in the Benson area and switched to Centurylink last year. The pricing isn't intro pricing and it's amazing to have the actual advertised price be the price I pay. No hidden fees and taxes like with the Cox prices.

The service has been great, the speed is fantastic. I've had 2 outages for an hour or less that I've noticed in the whole time I've had it (a huge improvement over my Cox service)

The only downside is that the 1 time I did have to call in to support it was a crazy ring around. You can't call the main support number you have to call a fiber specific number and it took being bounced around 2x each with long holds to get that number (which I foolishly didn't save).

It was $60 per month and I have now seen ads for $65 per month. That may be the problem. I get $60 per month indefinitely, but if you come on to the system next year, it may be more for you.
