Tried logging into my account, message account unavailable. 20 min. wait on call then roller coaster ride from 1 to another to another without help. Took 2 days and several hours, one phone number they give you to call was disconnected. read more

18 months ago, our CenturyLink landline would only make outgoing calls. Incoming calls gave a short ring then stopped. Person calling would hear ringing then a fast busy. Contacting CenturyLink via internet or via phone is the most time consuming frustrating experience anyone could have. On the phone, you have to go through their mechanical chatbot who states, "anytime you want to speak to a representaive, just say 'representative'." Guess what? You can say 'representative until you are blue in the face but you ain't gonna get one right away. Why, you may ask? Well Mr. Dildoe, the Chatbot will state he nedds more information. If you are lucky, he won't start over, but most likely he will. If you ever do get to a human, they will apologize over and over for "any inconvenience" you are having. Then, they will schedule a repair person to come to your property and tell you a long list of things that are required. Answer yes to this and the nice human will give you a repair date. AT THIS POINT, ASK FOR A REPAIR TICKET NUMBER!!! I state this because twice, I was not given a number, and as the repair date nears, I check online to be sure they are coming on the assigned date and there is no repair order in their system. So, call them again, or chat online and you get to got through Mr. Dildoe the chatbot again. This time you will bew given a repair ticket number and a date of repair at least a week from whatever day you are chatting. Now this wouldn't be so bloody bad, EXCEPT the day before our scheduled repair, the cancel it and put it out ANOTHER 8 freaking days. So, it will be around four weeks before they fix our landline. This will be the fourth time in 18 months and twice in the last month with the same problem!! So, CenturyLink, here is a one-star review for your sorry a$$ landline service. I really had to laugh when the customer service representative, at the end of our conversation asked if I would be interested in CenturyLinks new fiber optic highpseed internet service. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Not only "NO", CenturyLink, but "HELL NO!!!!" read more

I have been dealing with outage of my internet for 6 days now. It seems no body home. No answer for estimate time via virtual conversation. Can't get anyone on board. Called all the phone numbers on Google. Trying to cancel on phone 20 minutes no one get on the line. I had to hang up and called and wait again. While waiting, auto play trying to sell you their excellent products! Awwww! They only care about their new customers. So disappointed. I was with them for quite a few years. Still on hold just try to cancel my account. Let's see how many days this is going to drag on!!!! read more

I've been using them for about 3 years. Modem dies once about every 3 to 4 months for at least a day. During a recent move where they were the only option and I was supposed to transfer the service, they canceled my appointment without saying anything and then rescheduled it for over a week later. The people on the phone were as helpful as they could be, but had no answers or ways to speed things up. read more

Poor customer service and multiple outages. We have two different locations and have had issues at both locations. The techs are always late. They are outsourcing the repair group as the installers are too busy. On my latest issue, the service at my house was cut for over eight days with no tracking of when the next tech will be coming. I have spent multiple hours on hold as the chat is of no help. The delay of repairs is ridiculous. How can you use this service for work from home? I had tech come out late Saturday(6:30 for a 11-2 time window.) Only to tell me I had no signal at the house and he needed another tech to repair at the connection point. He told me he was going to schedule the secondary repair. There are no notes on the APP. We had to call today, I keep getting a run around by customer service. My internet is still not up as of 2 PM. Not a great way to start fiber service. I haven't even had the service a month. read more

Today is the 25th. I'm moving out of my apt in 5 days. My bill is due on the 24th. I asked for a few days extension, they wouldn't give it to me. Then I asked if I could pay partial since I'm moving in 5 days. Again, no. I have to pay for the whole month, then request a refund. Ok fine! Paid $75 on the 24th. No internet service anyway. They said the systems were down. The 25th comes, still no internet. Now they don't know why the modem isn't connecting and the back office has to fix it and it could take up to 48 hrs!!! So then I said just cancel my service and refund my payment since I'm not able to get internet access at all, they said they will request it but no guarantee I get my payment back and it could take 30 days. I hadn't even had their service for 5 months yet and already dealing with this!!!!!! Not a good service at all!!!!! read more

We switched from comcast to centurylink and it was a terrible choice. They gave us a modem router that doesn't work to give us wifi signal all over our house and when we reported this to them a week into our service they blamed us! we didn't have this problem with comcast. don't bother calling them to report your problems because you just wait on hold for them to be rude and not help solve your issue. read more

terrible organization. avoid using them if you have any other choice. If you have a problem of any kind you won't be able to talk to. human, at least not without hours on hold with multiple hangups. There was a construction accident on our road that cut their cable. Dozens of us have been without landlines or internet since. Unlike the power company that repairs such things quickly, they are saying it will be several weeks before they can address the problem. Many of us have called in, sometimes multiple times and on each occasion they have no record of there being a problem in our area. in some cases they have no record of our previous report of our problem. I had a guaranteed monthly charge, I setup my bank billpay to send the amount well in advance of the due date. Then I got a notice saying I owed them hundreds of dollars in back fees. After hours of struggling to talk to a human I finally reached someone who said there was a late payment fee that compounded over time. I asked when exactly that was and she wouldn't tell me. I told her I have bank statement proving so made all the payments on time. She said she would fix the problem. Next month I got an email claiming I owed the extra amount again. More hours to reach a human. same result. Finally on the third exasperating try they fixed the "accounting error". read more

Quality of the internet service at 11th and Pike, Seattle, WA 98122, made me cancel my service within a week or two of signing up. Very slow, glitchy, and unreliable. Don't sign up for this internet service provider. 1 star. No matter how low the price, this internet isn't worth it. read more

If I could leave a zero rating I would. Poor customer service. Impossible to cancel service. Nobody has the authority to cancel your service. They'll keep you holding forever while they see if service is available at your new address. When it's not, nobody has the authority to cancel for you. Runaround!!! read more

I pay for the service of 12mbps and here is what I get. I tried to switch to a different ISP, but all other providers show their service is not available to my current address. I don't know what tricks Centurylink plays, and i thought Monopoly was only something existing in last century. read more

CenturyLink - Internet Service Providers Near Me

customer service is lacking. Time spent on the phone trying to reach the desired department can take hours. They say they will call you back but don't. Follow through is non existent. one woman named Tess was awesome! she deserves 5 stars and a promotion. she was the only one who pushed to get a repair guy out after 11 months of dropped internet and Zoom. read more

Horrible experience--Technician installed modem and supposedly connected service but internet not functional after leaving. Then received appointment notification for a follow-up appointment several days later without any context or information about why internet was not working or what would be done at the second appointment. I had to take work off for a second day to be available for this appointment (only provide time range of 8am to 5pm). I called CenturyLink several times but no one could provide information about what this appointment was for. At the end of that day, no technician had arrived--I called CenturyLink again and was told that the appointment was for internet activation and I actually had not needed to be present at the property that day. After activation date, internet still was not active. After contacting customer service, a third technician appointment was scheduled for several days later. I took off work for a third day to be available for this appointment. Late in the afternoon that day, the technician notified me that he was 30 minutes away and several minutes later we received a notification from CenturyLink that the appointment would have to be rescheduled because the technician was overtime for that day. A repeat appointment could not be scheduled for several days. At this point, I decided to cancel services as I had taken off several days of work, paid over $350 for installation/modem, and waited over a week and still did not have functioning internet. Throughout this process, communication was terrible from CenturyLink and it was very difficult to get ahold of anyone with usable information on the status of our internet set-up. I am still waiting for full reimbursement of the costs paid for installation, modem, and service that was never received. I was able to find a local internet service provider (direct wireless internet) who connected internet service the next day and has been readily available to answer questions at a cost similar to what CenturyLink was charging. read more

I need Valium and blood pressure medicine after dealing with the worthless Century Link online help system! A branch fell on our line on Nov 19 during a big storm causing the internet to go out. When we identified the problem on Nov 21, we contacted Century Link for repair. The earliest they could come was Dec 2, 11 days after we notified them. On Dec 2, I waited around all day, finally getting a message at 4:30 PM that the appointment had been "missed." When I contacted them they said that just meant that the repair person ran out of time and would come the next day. Got a message in the morning that they were going to come on Dec. 4. At 3:00 PM on Dec 4 a contracted (not Century Link employee) repair person came and said he needed information from Century Link before he could repair it. He left and we got a message saying the repair had been completed and asking how our service was working. It's NOT!!! The wire is still down. When I contacted them via chat the tech said they needed to send the CABLE repair person on Dec 12, 21 days after we notified them that the wire was down. We are canceling the service ASAP. Truly, horrible and frustrating. I can't believe they are still in business if this is how they help customers. read more

I have been without internet for 2 weeks now with no sign of ever getting it going again. The box on telephone pole is broken and every time I waste an hour on the phone trying to get help the tech guy says they can't fix it and leave. ( that's if they talk to you, twice I waited for tech and they just cruised on by and left). Looks like it's time to dump century link read more

Is it possible to give no star? The company representative suck and so mean!!! I have cancel the service earlier than my service period and they told me they are legal to not give me refund for those day that I don't have their service!! The representative even told me that I can hire a lawyer and sue them. OMG!! What kind do customer service is that? Never ever use this company!!!! read more

So much stinky customer service. The employees on the phone are cranky, disinterested and treat you like a number. They never bother to learn your name and often dump you back into a phone tree. It can take over an hour to sort out anything with their customer service. The speed was HALF of what was advertised based on speed tests. HALF. Still charges you the full amount of course! When you cancel, they refuse to ship you a box, or pick up the equipment. So you have to PAY to ship their own equipment back to them! No pick up or drop off options AND they charge you for the entire time it takes to ship it back!!! Fun! They ship you fault equipment then CHARGE YOU to return it! If you don't return it, they CHARGE YOU EVEN MORE!! This is a company that works hard to capture your business, but once they have it, they dump you to cranky/cruel customer service agents and a maze of bureaucracy and fees. No wonder CenturyLink's market share dwindles and their stock plateaus! This company HAS NO CLUE and their competitors are very far ahead of them. DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY YOUR BUSINESS! read more

0 star wasn't available. The employees are not the problem it's the system they use to communicate about your account. I've spent the last 6 days calling as we were doing a moving of service. Supported to be setup 5 days ago and everyday I call they say it's scheduled for tomorrow. You call one agent and they will transfer you to correct department and every single time you have to verify information no one is on same page because they can't see any of the details. I have talked to 20+ different people between technical support and customer care teams. One side says pending other side said completed and no one knows what's actually going on. read more

Worst of the worst service. I've never encountered anyone like them. First of the all the installation process was like hell. Their internal departments didn't communicate with each other and the customer service rep couldn't provide any information (or only have outdated information) about what's going on. That's inconvenient. The worst is they don't honor their promotion offerings. I signed up when they promoted "price for life". But 2 years in, they increased the price. When I asked them why. They had the audacity to tell me that I was not on their "price for life" promotion. What a cheater. Sadly I don't have another fiber option for broadband right now. As soon as another one is available, I will jump. Or as soon as the one who plays game in the household is out, I will switch to tmobile 5G. It's good enough for me. CenturyLink, changing your name and wipe out Google review won't help you. Change your attitude toward your customers will! read more

It would be unfair to give these folks a 1-star review just because SOMETIMES their services work well. I still have a landline, and I like their product when it works better than cable. Unfortunately, that is where their goodness to a consumer ends. Billing problems. 45-minute waits and then THEY disconnect you and do not call back. No reply on Facebook, let alone their chat lines manned, presumably, by one lone person working alone and remotely in middle earth. ZERO consumer support. read more

I've been 17 days without internet service after signing up. Go with xfinity. The process to get anyone out to fix or hook up your service is insane. They don't give a shit about their customers. They've made that blatantly obvious the past 4 days. Fuck them. read more

I have been stuck with centurylink as the only issue on my area for years. I pay for 2 lines of internet supposed to be 50mbps each. I recieve at max 7 per line but usually run at 4-5. It's only enough to stream on 1 device per line and it's not fast about it. My net is currently out, it has been 90% down for over 2 weeks now. The customer support is a fucking joke. Talk to a bot for an hour to get an overseas representative who will only follow the same protocol steps they have for last 20 years. It's not a network specialist or anyone with any training. It's a turn modem off and on, ohh it's not working? Let's sell you a new modem because yours must be broken. Yeah both modems on both lines always break together as centurylink shows no problems on their end. It's a fucking joke, I've had the same technician for them for years at multiple home locations. He's told me multiple times, it's all centurylink equiptment. It's dated and they have 0 intention on ever upgrading or repairing. The only thing centurylink manages, is to keep charging. Full price for shit service that falls 5x shorter than what they advertise and 0 compensation for your 100% gaurenteed outage time. Everything about this company is a joke. I cannot wait for starlink. Please save me from this fucking nightmare that is centurylink. My biggest regret is not finding a way to leave negative stars, because this service deserves it. read more

I have to give this a star? Their customer services sucks. I was on the phone ALL DAY LONG and still did not get my issue resolved, yet they still collect money on internet that doesn't even work. read more

AVOID THESE PEOPLE. The absolute worst. Lying, cheating, rude and manipulative. They say there's no contract but then force you to use autopay and then won't let you withdraw your card even when you cancel. They only schedule services a week out - and if they don't show up to an appointment it's a full week!!!! And you'll be lied to about them being able to schedule you the same day. You will lose about a hundred hours of time dealing with them. They will hang up on you, they will send you on a wild goose chase between maybe 100 service folks and none of them can help. I cannot believe this is a functioning company. Horrible. read more

CenturyLink Internet became quantum fiber Internet since the merge quantum fiber has poor very very poor customer service they manipulate the truth in order to keep a customer they go back on their word they are not trustworthy since we coming quantum fiber my recommendation is to stay away from quantum fiber once was CenturyLink read more

I never thought and ISP's customer service would make me miss Comcast, but CenturyLink managed to do it. Self-service tools that don't work, support people (if you managed to talk to one) who are clueless, and service that can go out for a week at a time. What a garbage company. read more

Fraudulent Charges on my account ! I moved into a large apartment complex last year and signed up for century link over the phone. When I moved out of my apartment, I discovered that I had two accounts in my name. One of the accounts had the address of my unit and the other had the address of the entire building! I called customer service and explained the situation. Clearly, the second account was made in error. After several hours on the phone, they eventually agreed to remove the charge. However, 6 months later I get a letter from collections that I owe $500. This is borderline fraud. read more

A few weeks ago I arranged to have Century Link install high speed internet at a family home in Cannon Beach, OR. Sales people guaranteed that the service would be perfect for watching movies and TV over the internet. Service was installed on a Friday afternoon. It worked great that night but by the next morning worked off/on and by the afternoon off. I called customer service and was told they only work 9-6, Monday- Friday and to consult the internet for help. THE INTERNET DIDN'T WORK!! Now they want me to pay my bill. I called customer service, talked to a nice person who said I needed to talk to a supervisor, put me on hold - then hung up on me. Don't work with this company. There is no customer service, no service center, installer was a contract person and very nice but after that it's a nightmare. Terrible experience!! O read more

Worst customer service!!! Over an hour wait every time I call in as they transfer you to person to person and disconnect you if you. And never resolved my issue.. read more

First: CenturyLink migrated to Quantum Fiber, and I never received an email. Once I got my internet fixed, via the customer service agent; I was told that there was an equipment error. When I requested information on it, I was jerked around by the company; and only found out what was happening from a connect source, not the company itself. read more

Service worked well sometimes. The worst part of Centurylink is customer service. I finally changed my interned service and canceled Centurylink. Fortunately I was smart enough not to set them on auto pay from a credit card. Today I received a bill for $63. After 20 minutes I finally spoke to a person who said the bill sent at the end of the service period rather than the beginning. So, I owe them $45, the other $18 was a late fee. Since I don't really have records from when I started service I'm out $45 but at least I'm done with Centurylink. read more

Garbage service nobody should sign up. No customer support at all, not compatible with some products, they don't even allow live customer support. I'd go back to Xfinity as bad as that is giben how bad the customer service is read more

Worst service ever, we just need a landline for our 98 year old mother, the phone has not worked yet but I'm being charged for the service. Centurylink no showed for both scheduled appointments, we have to take off work to wait from 8 am to 5 pm for their tech, I should have read the reviews on yelp and centurylink, it sounds like this is how centurylink routinely conducts business. This has been a miserable experience. We're canceling it and getting two can's and a string, at least it would better than centurylink read more

I wish that I could give them a zero. My elderly mother has this internet service. She was on autopay but it did not go through in February. When she realized it she paid immediately, but that was for March. She paid March, April, May, June, July, and August. Since she didn't pay February they have been tacking on late fees since February. $210.00 to be exact! When I called customer service they were of no help. They said pay it in full or we will disconnect you. They said that they tried to contact her by email and text. I told them that she doesn't know how to check either of these things and is in the process of switching things to us because of some dementia. They are heartless!!! She has never been late in the 5+ years that she has been with them. I only was able to speak to someone after trying to call them for over a week. They assured me that a supervisor would call me, but never did. I had to keep calling and we resolved nothing!!! read more

Anna Mascio You people couldn't find your a-s with two hands. YOUR SERVICE IS AN ABOMINATION! I was on hold for 3.5 hours and was transferred SIX TIMES. One of the 'service' agents had a blasted ROOSTER that was COCK A DOODLE DOOING in the background I COULD BARELY HEAR HER! Where are you finding these people? What part of keeping farm animals out of your work space do you not understand? This is pure insanity. I've been a customer for 8 years and was treated like a bad red headed step child. You wouldn't know the first thing about customer RETENTION. It's 2021 and your level of 'service' is a JOKE. SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE for the insulting level of irresponsible attitudes toward problem solving. All I wanted was an extender for my internet since MY SERVICE SUCKS. I wasn't asking for anything more than that and was transferred SIX TIMES because no one could understand what the heck I was saying. Perhaps ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE would be the first step in helping those of us who speak it?????????????????????????????? Any thoughts on perhaps finding locals to help your customers you don't care about? I can see I'm not the only one who feels like this is a scene from the Twilight Zone......a third grader could do a better job. Can't wait to find someone else to provide me with internet....you people are a poster child for exactly the opposite. read more

they didnt give me or brother in law notice about his service not getting connected at all had owner and manger call you guys to add a line as they own 4-5 property all togher then i had to run out to his house so they could talk to him as when i set up the service he add me then just a big mess have all the text's & email's saying you guys was coming today call 1st lady did not speack good english!!! told her i would like to speak with supervioser she told me she was gone for the day i kept tell her i wished to talk to someone else she then told me her supervisor was in a meeting told her i would like to talk to someone else she put me on hold for over 45 mintues with no music or nothing hung up called the number that was texting me she told me it was cancalled due to them have to add a line mind you owner & manger told them on december 26 2024 to add a line guess im not the only person whom is upset with this company!!!!!!!!!! my question is why a month out plus still want to charge a card????? plus you sent the dam modem to a differnt address read more

Its been two months after ordering service and they missed 3 separate install appointments and its been 2 months and still no internet.

If only they allowed negative stars. -5 would be awesome to give in this circumstance. If you have any opportunity to stay away save yourself and do not get this provider's service. They are horrible. They can't even keep their servers up and running. As of this morning I can't even go in and schedule my payment that's due. (With this company I do not do autopay because they messed up the due date and now it's due before my payday. I'm still within the window but autopay won't work in this situation.) I haven't had much trouble with customer service itself, although one tech came out and said that he wasn't going under the house and left but they made him come back and go under to fix the wiring, but their service is horrible. We pay for up to 40 Mbps but get maybe 20 on a good day. Since that's all we can get at our location we ended up having to put in 2 lines to cover the current 5 people living here. Only 1 does online streaming gaming. The rest of us play a bit online with gaming consoles and stream videos. That's about it. We are constantly being dropped, service goes in and out constantly. We try to shut off devices not currently being used and try to keep our phones on the phone service to limit the total service being used but nothing could make this work. My neighbor is 1 person with a singular modem and gets the same service we do and has the same trouble. The only thing worse was HughsNet which was at dial up speed on day 2 of the month. I wish that a larger better internet provider would come into the area. I guarantee several people would change over instantly. I know 3 right now that would pre-sign up if they put notice out of coming to the area. read more

Slightly better than Comcast but, what is it with telecom industry?! Only the most incompetent people work there. The internet promised 1000 Mbps is a lie. It keeps dropping to below 30 Mbps download speed, and not much better for upload speed. Even the quality of the landline call is not solid like I remember it before. Shame! read more

This review is for the REPAIR SUPPORT process. I use CRL for business internet and phone. When its working, its great. When it goes down, the process for service is enough to make you insane. Currently, my service is down. I have been given service dates of: first 5 days out, then 7 days out, then SAME DAY, and when that didn't happen and I contacted them again, was told the tech had 2 appts prior to me. Then, when I contact for an update my ticket has me back to a WEEK OUT. For my business, where EVERYTHING is dependent upon internet this is not acceptable. Add to this the circle that their phone puts you in to attempt to reach a real person...and the useless chat "feature"...not pleasant. Reading other reviews I may or may not jump ship over to Comcast. I think I read somewhere that they have a dedicated small business team...enticing. read more
