DIRECTV and CenturyLink work together to offer bundles including television and Internet services. They want to be a major presence in your home and part of your everyday life. Let’s take a look at what they have to offer.
CenturyLink High-Speed Internet
CenturyLink claims to have faster Internet download and upload times than their competitors. Their website offers specific statistics, including speeds of up to 40 Mbps in certain areas, and an upload speed of 5 Mbps. CenturyLink data transfer rates provide you with the ability to watch movies on Netflix.com and video chat with Skype on your computer.
Bundle Incentives
You can bundle CenturyLink Internet and DIRECTV television with the “Choice Xtra” package and other premium packages. There are several incentives if you purchase these products together.
- NFL Sunday Ticket at no additional charge.
- DIRECTV service will include premium cable channels Showtime, HBO, Cinemax and Starz for free for three months.
- Genie DVR at no additional charge.
Genie DVR Benefits
CenturyLink and DIRECTV claim Genie is the most advanced DVR (Digital Video Recorder) in the industry. If you or your family are frequent TV watchers, Genie is an attractive option. It can record up to five HD shows at the same time and service four different high definition televisions simultaneously. Genie has a terabyte of memory, so you can record and store entire season’s of your favorite shows.
Is it Worth It?
It’s inevitably cheaper to buy service bundles from the same providers. Thanks to their collaboration, DIRECTV and CenturyLink provide you with ability to do that. Keep in mind, however, that a 24-month agreement with DIRECTV is required.
Having the same provider supply your monthly Internet, phone, and television services can be convenient and financially sound. Take a look at what DIRECTV and CenturyLink have to offer in your area.
