## Reviews

### "Centurylink Highspeed Internet has Easy Install and Access" — 4.0/5

> **Renee** | *29 December 2025* | Real Estate | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use I set up the modem myself and was able to move and set up the modem again in my new location easily
> 
> **Cons**: the billing was difficult to understand and therefore I kept being charged late fees that led to more charges
> 
> I was a Centurylink customer for over 5 years and enjoyed high speed internet as well as travel options.

### "Century Link Is Consistent" — 4.0/5

> **Ian** | *12 September 2025* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Century Link is a premium internet provider. It's functional and consistent. It's priced well, not the cheapest but definitely not the most expensive. I'd put it in the middle if I was ranking internet providers.
> 
> **Cons**: I don't like that it's not more available. Spectrum is usually the option I'm stuck with when I'm living or working outside of major cities. It would gain a better rating if it was more available in less populated areas.
> 
> My experience with Century Link has be more neutral than anything. Google Fiber being my favorite, Century Link is the 2nd, and I absolutely despise Spectrum. The good thing about CenturyLink is that it's more available than google fiber.

The worst never use century Link bright speed Internet Wi-Fi the worst Internet ever they did not help me with my problems and was more concerned about selling Internet then refunding the money
> 
> **Cons**: Someone hacked into my account and paid $218. I only pay $80 a month for Ritter. Someone took out $218 to pay this Internet service and they did not give my money back but I’m getting it back either through my bank or through them.
> 
> The people did not help me and they was more concerned about selling me Internet. I want my $218 back.

### "Very nice people but bad weather doesn't help\!" — 4.0/5

> **Danielle** | *28 August 2025* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I did not have a choice for service, but customer service was friendly, and made using the service easy.
> 
> **Cons**: For being in heavy service area, use was very spotty and not useful, especially with severe weather.
> 
> Very nice people, however service hours and dealing with customers time is not very useful.  Getting a call back from upper management never happened.

### "Good service, when it works" — 4.0/5

> **Ginna** | *02 August 2025* | Law Practice | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Overall mostly good service once its set up.  Fast response time and decent customer service but slow.
> 
> **Cons**: Soo many outages and drops - downtime that just isn't acceptable in a realm where every second counts and missed connections mean missed money
> 
> Overall if the service was working then it was great. However, if it ever went down then the time it took to contact, connect with and get any type of resolution was very difficult.
