Bad Internet Connections

I like my Centurylink for 14.95 a mo. When my service went down (which is almost never) I had a repairman here next day, he says the router went dead, time for the new and improved router. Faster, and automatic password protected. Didn't cost a dime for repair as we pay an extra $1 a mo for inside insurance, which means anything hooked to their box outside and coming into the house is covered. Does not matter even if it's a cat 5 cord. No charge. I'll go a month at a time with no down time.
