Get CenturyLink in Gig Harbor, Washington

Today's kids hear the word "gig" and picture absurdly fast internet speeds, but back in ye olden days, a gig was merely a small boat the captain used to row out from his ship—a small boat just like the one Gig Harbor sheltered a century and a half ago, earning its name and starting a settlement.

But while Gig Harbor wasn't named for the fastest internet speeds in the U.S., don't let that stop you from giving "Gig Harbor" a dual meaning. Like most of the country, you probably can't bring home speeds up to one gig quite yet, but you can choose to invest in high-speed internet from CenturyLink and help the city earn new street cred as a safe haven for unbeatable connections.

After all, as delightful as Gig Harbor is—perched on the shores of Puget Sound and, on clear days, offering a stunning view of Mt. Rainier—you can't spend all your time enjoying the sights. When you're not tucking into the award-winning fish and chips at Tides Tavern, watching another beautiful sunset over the harbor, or taking the kids to the Harbor History Museum, settle in for a cozy night with all the best CenturyLink can provide.

Want to see what CenturyLink can do for you? Many TV plans you can order through CenturyLink include three free months of premium channels, which means you can rewatch Twin Peaks on Netflix before catching Twin Peaks: The Return on SHOWTIME^®. If you opt for an internet plan with speeds up to 80 Mbps or more, indulge in MMO gaming at blazing-fast speeds and with minimal lag time. And—just a helpful hint for newcomers—getting familiar with the Seahawks on live TV gives you an immediate in with your new neighbors. Who knew helping Gig Harbor reclaim its name for the 21st century would be so fun?
