Centurylink massive outage
I use Centurylink for internet and woke up to It not working. After much resetting of everything went on line and they have a massive nationwide problem so if you use them no use calling the whole Country is experiencing a big problem. They are based in La where the hurricane hit but have no idea if it is connected
|
Was on hold for 40 min
Foreign speaking voice says “Hello, Hello, Hello”....kept answering them then immediate dial tone. :censored::censored:
|
Downdetector.com shows outage map and many, many angry comments.
|
Outage was even in Europe, as of 10:30 am it is now back on
|

|

Your right it’s back up 10:48 am
|
I called around 0715 am was advised outage and would be restored by 1130. Arrived home after golf 11am was working, minor road block on the highway of life.
|
Just about every internet provider was down during the same period.

We finally got disgusted with CenturyLink in early July. Switched to Xfinity and we couldn't be happier with the service.
As a CenturyLink customer, we were limited to 25 MBPS download/1MBPS upload because we were on a double DSL line. It was costing ~$92 per month with a land line. I called in late June to drop the land line and was told my rate would drop to ~$68 per month, but my internet download speed would be limited to 10 MBPS. That was enough for me. Switched to Xfinity internet only for $40 per month and I'm reliably receiving 100 MBPS download and 5 MBPS upload. |
All our internet provider do is provide a connection to the internet. They do not maintain the servers. US hands internet control to ICANN this happened in 2016

I just got it and my service has been ****ty from day 1. I thought it was because too many people at once we're using it but now it's inky been me and it shuts down and needs buffering all the time.
|
$49? I was told $65 basic?
|
We have Spectrum. No issues this morning. I just did a speed test and clocked 73 mbps WIRELESS.

$69 is for high speed, "up to 940 mbps". Before the outage, I was getting 700 to 740 mbps on my laptop, according to the Century Link speed test. Since then, I am at 35 to 40 mbps on the laptop. Tech came and said my laptop is not capable of operating 5g speeds like 700 to 740. Couldn't explain why I could get them two days ago. The ONLY thing that changed was Century Link's outage. Our TV, which we use a Roku on, is connected to the 5g network, so we are not getting any buffering. That is why I got the high speed, so I guess I'm okay with it. I don't think I need those kinds of speed on my laptops anyway. Oh, and before I upgraded myself to the high speed, my TV buffered a lot at the "up to 100 mbps" that I had before. |
Same here. Rebooted twice. The light was blinking red I.p.o. green. I sent a note to my neighbors I know have CenturyLink. Same thing no connection. I stopped rebooting and waited. I know it was off as I asked Alexa to shut off the light. She couldn’t do it. Sigh I had to go over and shut off the light manually. 😁
