How old was the cable?
Does anyone else find CenturyLinks little grandstanding statement at the end of the press release offensive.
Now may not be the time to be touting your
“high-quality advanced fiber optic network”.
Justin, I agree… the company promotional tag line probably wasn’t a great idea.
The flyer in today’s mail about CenturyLink TV service does not inspire confidence. Not an effective time for them to be marketing anything here.
