Gave it up this January... Centurylink wanted $600/year for a basic land line with caller ID. just shy of 50-years with that number. I told the girl when I called to cancel that they had killed the goose that laid the golden egg...she didn't have a clue as to what i was trying to tell her!
Centurylink owns all the land lines by me too. Service was customer service was horrid. Even after we got cell service I kept it for emergencies, and convenience. But the quality of the lines was crap, trying to get anyone out to work on them when they went out was a joke and I was paying $55 a month + long distance for the privilege of having it. Felt weird at first not having it, still go to check the answering machine when I get home sometimes and missed calls haha.
