At least for the first 6/12 months. Then you get to haggle and threaten disconnection for a day, then you are good for another 6/12 months.

In my case, their published (non-promotional) rates were cheaper than the bonded DSL I was using. I really didn't want to switch, but I just couldn't justify the amount I was spending for the bandwidth I got.

That didn't work for me. I threatened to leave for CenturyLink DSL unless they could give me a better deal and the only thing the lady offered me was a triple play package for more than what I was already paying. So I had to switch over to DSL at 12/1 speeds.

The one good thing is that CenturyLink isn't part of that 6 strikes deal.
