Century Link internet problems
I currently have Century Link as my internet provider but we are having constant problems. Sometimes we have a connection and at other times we do not. Has anyone experienced similar problems and what internet provider is possibly more reliable than Century Link?

We've had centurylink for over a year without any outages. I have to reset my router occasionally, but that's it.

We also had a lot of problems with CenturyLink. We switched to Comcast after our CenturyLink got agonizingly slow. How slow? So slow that the online speed test would time out before it was able to finish. Watching anything streaming online was a fantasy. Love Comcast!

Yeah, maybe it's where you are. We are south of 466a, have had Centurylink since April, and have had no issues. Like mentioned above, had to reset router a few times...that's it.

Had Century Link when we lived in Duval. We had nothing but problems. When we moved to Sanibel (2 years ago) I got Bright House. No problems since.

Call repair service for DSL . Century Link Technical support is second to none. You might try to unplug power to your modem first then plug in again.
Also, modems have been updated to better models and CTL will send you a new one if it is obsolete or defective. Good Luck , be patient. ALL internet providers will experience some problems. The main thing is to get it fixed promptly and I believe CTL will take care of your problem. |

We've had Century Link internet and landline phone since July 2011 and we've experience only one outage of our internet a few months ago for about 45 minutes. Our service has no modem, they refer to it as 'to the curb'. We plug our router directly into a telephone wall jack, it's a special 2 port jack on a kitchen wall. One is for the internet and the other for home phone. We have 10 mpbs internet speed and I've never had it test below 9.0 speed. Our service is $59.99 a month and with tax it runs just about $75, that includes the phone with unlimited long distance, caller ID and call block. We have Directv for our television. We live off of St. Charles near Sterling Heights Rec Center in the Village of Tamarind Grove, which is about a half mile north of CR 466A.
I have never found a need to switch to anyone else. Earlier we had a bad experience with Comcast back in Maryland so we had switched from cable TV to Directv and to Verizon for internet. Home phone and internet were much cheaper with Verizon but unfortunately they only have cell phone service here. We stayed with Directv and hooked up with Century Link when we moved here in July 2011 and have no complaints. |

I have had centurylink since we were in Ohio, nothing but problems since we have been here. I could write short book about the repair staff that visits for repairs. Speed slides all over the place. Finally hit my stopping point today when I tried to get their phone staff to help me. Finally told her she could change me to the folks that right up cancellations, she did and so did I. Plan to try Comcast for DSL as my Direct TV is unequalled.

North of 466 Century Link just plain sucks..In addition their customer service has ALWAYS been non existent to say the least. I'm looking for someone else as Comcast is just plain too expensive for internet only. They always scam you to try and get you to subscribe to their "bundled" service.
