I looked at Centurylink's "compatible" modems and they're all rated 3.5 stars and cost $150+ or more.
The next best thing is satellite at $100 for 30Mps, versus 200Mps for $40 for CenturyLink, or Comcast.
I'll give CenturyLink a chance because I really hate Comcast. But God I wish there was more competition.
This exact scenario is what starlink is for
I can definitely believe that Comcast can manage to be more horrible than CenturyLink. Not an easy task though.
Don't go with satellite if you care about latency at all. (From what I know, it also tends to have pretty pitiful upload speeds.)
I had their service for 6-7 years and I have to admit I never had an issue with the modem (and the service was generally reliable with little downtime). Their customer service though...
