Any centurylink folks here?

Century Link? You jump ship?

The way Noma runs I would if I could.

FYI - I always use the Centurylink router when setting up their dsl. Always works and they support it if it's not working. Pay the $8 month for leasing the router too, it's their insurance policy - if it's zapped by lightning, they will replace it.

I've never had the store bought router work on DSL, they design it that way and don't want to support other peoples crap. No different than a car dealership not supporting your upgrades to a diesel engine etc.

Centurylink chugs goat cock. 18 months of pure hell and negative impact to my ability to work before I switched back. They can forever eat shit and die.

I bought the same modem they supply, it is crap though.

Not unhappy with my Cent Link ....

Century Links sucked major balls. It was my only provider at my old apartment. It was so slow i couldn't even play EVE or WoW.

Mine is working fine, getting what I pay for. I've had DSL for 15 years now, no real issues. A couple of outages, otherwise solid.

It really depends on the neighborhood and the wiring. I'm in an old hood that got all new wires and fiber many years back. Some newer areas of town they haven't upgraded anything yet, so it's crap.

I too have Century Link. My internet speed sucks huge elephant balls. They installed a damn junkie on a treadmill with a crack rock dangling on a string in front of him to power my modem. Damn stuff is so slow if it were any slower my browser would be going backwards in time. I called them and all they said was, "Sorry sir, you have the fastest available speed that is offered in your area." What the hell is that? The speed of snail? Okay, /end rant. Sorry.

Ditto.. My data plan is almost twice as fast as my DSL

I said NEED. Most people could easily get by with less than 10 Mb down. That speed test is friggen sweet. though I'm confused by the 5ms ping, is that even possible? Still nice throughput.

I beg to differ




Jk'ing. This is my circuit at work. I do however pay Comcast for 50 Mbps.

It better be possible for what we pay a month for it. Honestly, their business class stuff, with the exception of their NOC (most rude assholes I've ever met), isn't bad.

I've never had their home service but with the way they respond to tickets and such I open at work, I can't imagine how they treat a residential customer.
