DirecTV Billing Through CenturyLink

I agree with you, both of them are horrible.  I have a bundle and can't get a straight answer out of either company.  They constantly screw up the combined billing.  

With any combined bill, you call the company the bill is on (in this case CenturyLink) to opt in or out.

Personally I avoid combined billing with any pair of companies. Even if billing is correct, there can be confusion in reading it when goes from one billing system to another. Plus any extra important info tends not to transfer as it is the billing line items (numbers only). And though CenturyLink is ok in general, they have one special circumstance with combined billing. They forbid you from having certain paid services on DirecTV because of the company's "morals". On principal I find issue with that as that is the customer's choice on what they watch, a combined bill should not give up that right to a company forcing you to comply with their beliefs.
