The most incompetent people I've ever worked with. Nearly every month something get screwed up, its as though they purposely pretend to screw up just in an attempt to sneak stuff past us so they can charge more money. Seriously, I do not understand how they can make so many mistakes, Time for a new provider.

Cannot get to my email account for the second time in the last week or so. called this morning and was told it would take up to 48 hours to fix. The last time it took a few minutes with the tech on the phone with me. It was because I had had an earlier problem they would not fix right away. Very poor service!!!!

After dealing with many debacles to get service set up I realized I had just made an error by switching to centurylink. I hoped it would improve after that but no such luck. Was constantly haunted with buffering, horrific customer service plus billing issues & outages. Do yourself a favor by steering clear of this company!

Century link is the worst internet you could possibly have it’s always going down and it is very unreliable despite what most say I had no choice but using them because they are th only internet where I live but they are absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with a service ever they are not even worth a dollar of your money

The price is reasonable. However, the service drops significantly during certain times of the day. It would be great if the speed remained the same throughout the day.

Poor. Internet was the worst I have ever deal with. Made me miss dial-up. Their customer service was a nightmare every time I had to deal with them. And they charge a cancellation fee even though I was not under a contract. Nice. Your service sucks and I have to pay to drop it.

I made an order and they scheduled me for Friday from 9 AM to 1 PM and I waited all day and nobody showed up. I finally called them and they told me that I wasn’t even assigned to a technician and that my account was on hold. They have the worst communication, someone should have called me to let me know that nobody would be coming today.

If I could leave a negative five stars I would. I had to call in every other week for internet trouble after a few months I cancelled my service. They couldn't wave the $200 early termination fee due to the fact they only had one call on record of me calling in about problems with internet. Worst company ever!!!WITH THE WORST SERVICE EVERE!!!!

I was given a promotional price for internet alone for 69.00. However after the year, I was not notified that the promotional period was ending and my bill jumped to 115.00. After working with a Century Link advisor, I was told that they would not reduce the bill and that I had to pay it. I am very unhappy with this experience.

Terrible customer service, completely unknowledgeable staff, and the chat help online is a joke, they are little help at all and half the stuff they tell you isn't even true. Their brick and mortar store staff is a little bit better at least. Service is awful, terrible speeds, much less than half of the promised mbps.

Virtually zero down time, and never insufficient speed for our needs. HOWEVER, they just increased our bill due to the lapse of a 3-year "deal". Very unhappy with that!!!!!

Worst customer service I have ever experienced. And it takes a lot to be upset. Average call time to answer one questions is about 45 minutes to an hour and minimum 6-7 transfers. I do not recommend calling any customer service if you have an issue with their internet unless you have a full weekend or 2-3 hours to answer your question.

Worst customer service! They failed to deliver service and did not even contact me about any updates. I had to call and be on the phone for over an hour each time I called, and even then... They never gave me a solution to their failure to set up service when they said they would. Don’t listen to their lies.

They will not update our lines to fioptics and it runs right next to our street. Internet is snail. And I will continue to look for better stuff. They need to update system so they can have more customers cause they are not accepting any more customers

They lose their mail and don't post payment timely then charge late fees on top of late fees, refuse to reverse charges. Where is their mail going? Happens way too often. Received a notice of cancellation for .02 cents today. Really?

High speed internet is more like the low speed. The deal of $50 per month turned out to be a rip off, and I ended up paying almost $70!!! $70 for the slowest internet in my life!... Also, couldn't update my account information because of the lack of a good customer service.

CenturyLink installed a new phone line 6/19/2017 but did not bury it. Tried calling and email 5 times but the only response I received is that a supervisor would call--never happened. The line remains on the ground with grass growing tall for the past 1-1/2 months since I cannot mow it without cutting the line.

CenturyLink is awful internet, I would only use it as a last resort. They are super cheap, but from my experience, the internet is super slow and drops a lot. Their customer service is not helpful and seemingly always in a bad mood. I happily left them for better service.

I absolutely hate CenturyLink. Every month I had some kind of issue with my bill and would have to wait on the line for forever. Their internet was so bad, I had to call all the time to try and figure out what was wrong with it. It was extremely frustrating. I was so glad when I moved to a place that had better options than just CenturyLink.

I have been with centurylink for about two years and their Internet services is sub-par. Yesterday I was in middle of my school quiz and all of the Internet went. It came back 30 mins after the test. These MFs want me to pay them. Please do not make that mistake but their service suck.

Century Link promised me a lot before I signed up, but the service just didn't measure up. The internet speed was mediocre at best and it was very difficult to make payments online through Century Link's online portal. The company was somewhat difficult to deal with as well. Would not recommend.

Poor quality internet that frequently cuts out. Very long hold times for customer service. Frequently transferred from department to department and often disconnected when calling costumer service. Excuses excuses excuses from employees. No shame in over charging you because they don't think you will want to deal with the above noted.

Worst service possible and very expensive. The truth is, you can only get so much out of a landline as far as internet service. I was getting a average of 1.5 Mbps for a very expensive price. They had no intention of ever upgrading my local service, so I no longer use them for internet service, just too slow. Customer service was simply awful as well.

Have had problems with their internet around the Williford area a lot when I lived there. It would freeze up every once in awhile and you would have to reboot your whole modem.

I purchased centurylink for my home in northern Utah with very high hopes. We canceled our subscription as soon as possible. The WiFi device was terrible. When we contacted Century link I was met with an annoying automated voice, and little to no help. I was left angry and throughly displeased.
