I absolutely hate CenturyLink. Everything about them--the customer service, the website, the login…read moreprocess, the setup process, the cancellation process--just sucks. It's like they go out of their way to make every interaction as painful as possible. Setting it up was a nightmare, and expensive too--around $140 just to get started. I figured, okay, fine, that's the cost of doing business. Within a year, my bill went up three times. I said, okay, fine, maybe that's just how it is. But now? Now they're just making up fees out of nowhere. I got an email last month saying my modem lease fee is increasing to $17 starting March 7, 2025. Why? Who knows. It's the same modem I've been using since day one. If anything, it's old and should be getting cheaper, not more expensive. Then another email comes through talking about some "Facility Relocation Cost" fee coming soon. Relocation? Who moved? Not me! Why am I paying for that? Right now, I'm paying $81 a month for the same basic internet that started at $70. I don't game, I don't stream heavy content, I don't download huge files. Just regular internet usage, and yet my bill keeps creeping up for absolutely no reason. I swear, ISPs are the biggest scam in existence. If I had any other decent options, I'd be gone yesterday. Anyways, I wrote all of this to say; why is it so hard to cancel services? I'm looking for a customer service email and can't find anything. The chat bot isn't working, the website is glitchy, and they're an internet company. Y'all should have the best computer scientists, software engineers, etc. Bro, don't piss me off.

I help my brother with all his bills, I am his POA and payee. We tried to set up service with…read moreCenturyLink in Sept 2025. They told us that someone had to be there from 8am-5pm, so my husband waited for them all day. I showed up about 4:45 PM, and he said nobody ever showed up. We checked the phone line and it didn't work. We called CenturyLink right away before they closed, and sat on the phone with them for about 2 hours between different departments. They never resolved our issue. We told them that the phone line was not working. I told them that it might be a faulty phone jack, and they told us to call back the next day. I told them that I would not be able to call back the next day because I have work and school. My brother had no phone, so he had no way of calling them the next day. Now that I'm out of school, I am trying to set up service for my brother again, so I called and made another appt for tomorrow, Jan 13, 2026. I got a text from CenturyLink today saying I had to cancel an old account before I could set up service for the new appointment. So I called to cancel the old account and they told me I would have to pay all of the backpay for a service that was never set up. I told them I would not be doing that and asked for a supervisor. I spoke to Russell, and he said that I would have to pay all the backpay as well for a service that they provided. I asked him, "What service?" And he sat there in silence and then told me that he'd be looking forward to me calling back for whenever I needed future service. I informed him my brother had a severe mental impairment, but that did not seem to matter to him. I told him that there would be no future service, and to cancel both the old account, and the new order. I told him I would be disputing this through any credit bureaus if they send it to collections but that we would not be paying for a service that they never provided. We hung up, and I set up phone service with a different company for my disabled brother.

Streaming won't save them because of their outsourcing Customer service to Asia and beyond. As a loyal DIRECTV customer, I carried my service from townhouses to a home since 2014. It kept going down hill, losing the only channels I watched and losing my local channels for months on end because they were too stingy to pay the networks to keep them. When I was down to 1 channel. I cancelled. They left me on and kept billing me. I did this 3 times and decided to pay to the end of the current month only so it couldn't roll into the next. May 2024 was current and covered until 5/31. They cut off my service May 12. Now the 3rd world country is calling my cell demanding payment for May and June. They can pound sand.

When I have called about this the AI service tells me to simply reboot my internet service by unpluggin and replugging the connect to my television.
