### "Great customer service, not great internet." — 4.0/5

> **Brooke** | *January 17, 2025* | 2128 | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The customer service representatives I contacted were very helpful and knowledgeable.
> 
> **Cons**: Our internet service was spotty and slow
> 
> The service as a whole left us needing more. It could have been our location, but we were constantly having to reconnect or wait for better connection.

### "Niche markets for high priced services" — 2.0/5

> **Mike** | *May 24, 2021* | Hospital & Health Care | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: They have an amazing service tech named \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] who is the only one I ever call because he's the only one who gets things done.  Phone service seems to work most of the time, just pray you never need tech support.
> 
> **Cons**: It's outrageously expensive in small markets, and they are often the only game in town so they can name their own price.  We have small locations with 1-2 staff where we pay more for service than larger 30-40 people offices simply because they have cornered the market and there is no competition.  They also often make you bundle to "save" buying services we never use.
> 
> I have been working with CenturyLink or part of it for 20 years.  It was originally Qwest and CenturyTel, and Qwest has always had billing issues.  It seems the merger brought out the worst in both companies.  Their customer support is non-existent, if you ever do need support get ready to spend a day on hold and being disconnected many times until you finally end up with someone who may be able to help, and then you will get disconnected again an lose all hope, I think it's their model.  I often just ignore issues until they are critical because I don't have the time or patience to sit on the phone for hours.

And this part kills me, no matter what number you press, what you say, who you say it to, as a business you will ALWAYS 100% of the time end up in the home call center every time you call.  I have entered in our account number, said "BUSINESS" very clearly, and every time I end up in the home queue and then someone asks me every single question I just answered on the automated system.

### "Fast and reliable Connections" — 5.0/5

> **Brian** | *December 13, 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ease of installation and the speeds of the connection are above what I expected.
> 
> **Cons**: What I liked least was having to wait for an install Date.
> 
> My overall experience was good, the circuit was installed, configured and tested within 1 hr.

### "Consistent, but lacking features and expensive" — 4.0/5

> **Nathan** | *October 5, 2024* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Even when the power went out, your phone can still work since it is a landline
> 
> **Cons**: The phone set up we had did not keep a record of peoples phone numbers that call in
> 
> Consistent. But it was about double the price of what we switched to.
