As far as electric utility rates, you still would have paid more in Johnson City, Bristol, VA, or Kingsport. BTES is around the lowest I've seen.

Lived in Gray.... COMCAST works flawlessly in Gray. gray is actually one of the best towns to live in in the area. u are close to I81 n close to JC via I26. PERFECT LOCATION! and with AT&T (im an iPhone lover), you get 5 bars of 3G in gray so you are good either way.

The only thing I can tell you for sure is that Charter is faster than Century. Most folks claim that Charter has horrible customer service, I've never experienced this. I've used Charter in JC for almost 4 years; I haven't had to call them since I got set up, and I can only recall one outage where we woke up one Saturday morning w/o internet; it was back on by 11am. Of course I'm not counting the times we were temporarily w/o electricity, can blame Charter for that.

CenturyLink was the worst, WORST company I've ever dealt with when I lived in JC. They randomly allowed third party entities to add stuff to my bill (something I still don't understand), and when I called, I got run around for days. After the second month of this, I called to cancel, they said they would take care of it, but actually sent my bills to a debt collector.

Absolutely do not utilize CenturyLink. You will regret it, eventually.

I'm not a CenturyLink apologist, and it sounds like jabogitlu has some justified anger towards them. But I've had CenturyLink (actually Embarq before the name change) DSL for right at 4 years now. I have the 10 meg service and it is generally very solid. In talking with a tech a couple of weeks ago, they will soon offer bonded DSL with max speeds double of what they offer now. The few times I've had equipment die on me, they've replaced it promptly and at no charge.

Thanks for the info! speed is definitely a factor and having to watch over my bill to be sure that no third party is invited in my wallet sounds draining! Thanks again to all for sharing. It makes a move so much easier that way.
