Good luck.

I was going to suggest this:

Amazon.com: NETGEAR High-Speed Broadband DSL Modem (DM200-100NAS). Compatible with CenturyLink, Verizon, and Frontier): Gateway

I own one, but the US price is scary. How does £35 here (about $50) suddenly become $176 in the US?

I would point you at this:

ISP information for North America | Answer | NETGEAR Support

but is is sorely in need of an update.

You got that much right, at least, as it lists "Qwest" and "US
West/Qwest" as ISPs, but not CenturyLink. (And what does it show as the
"Type of Encapsulation" for them?)
