Century Link CenturyLink is a RIPOFF! Bait and Switch! Nationwide

BAIT AND SWITCH. CenturyLink is a RIP OFF! I recently switched from Comcast to Century Link because the Rep told me my bill would be (in my case) $175/month. He/she didn't say anything about any "extra charges" although I knew going in that there are taxes and fees that EVERYBODY charges you. So, fine, I expected about $230/month. I got my first bill the other day for $795 and some change!! I called them on it and someone "explained" to me a bunch of other charges would need to be added. Now, my expected monthly charge will be around $260. Even if I'm paying this statement with a month in advance, that only totals out to $520! And the bill I have to pay is $795! After several phone calls and a couple of hours on the phone, I never got a satisfactory explanation as to exactly what I am paying the extra $270 for on top of the month-in-advance payment (which I wasn't told I had to pay initially). And I can't cancel without an "early termination fee". This company is more crooked than a barrel-full of fish hooks and on a first-name basis with the slime on the bottom of said barrel.
