CABOT, Ark. -- CenturyLink has opened a new interactive “Experience Center” at 100 North Port Drive, Suite G, in Cabot, Ark. The new center replaces the former retail store located at 1102 South Pine.

The new center will provide an interactive environment where customers can try CenturyLink’s High-Speed Internet service and High-Definition TV channels through DIRECTV.

“We call it an experience center because we want customers to be able to experience our advanced entertainment and Internet products,” said John Dreher, CenturyLink general manager. “We think customers will appreciate the ability to test drive our DIRECTV and High Speed Internet products.”

Grand opening festivities are planned for 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. Nov. 12. Local CenturyLink technicians will be available to answer questions on wireless networking, home Internet network installation and maintenance, and Internet speed testing.
