I think there are no truly good options, but you can get DSL separately with no telephone service. If you don't want to have to deal directly with Century Link you can still get the DSL through other companies such as Velocity Telephone/USfamily.net.

(I got their VOIP telephone service at just $5 more per month). Our neighborhood has the fiber optic cable DSL. http://www.velocitytelephone.com/residential/residential.php

Tammy, you pay $45/month with Charter? Is that bundled with other Charter services?
