Centurylink Rant!!

[00tec]

Tell them that your kid was running through the yard and got clotheslined on it. Let them know it will be removed if they aren't there within 4 hours.

They'll show.

What would happen if you called Xcel all freaked out about a "downed power line" and they would send a crew out to fix it? I bet they have a direct line to Century Link that gets these kind of things fixed ASAP since technically those poles are Xcel's.

shorten the slack and zipline!

Having to deal with CenturyLink regularly for work, I feel you pain. However as a rant, I can only give you 4/10. Only 3 exclamation points. Capital letters only at the beginning of sentences. No profanity. No threats of revenge. You can do better.

It's funny that if you go online you'll see many, many people bitching about Comcast but in 15 years I've never had anything but good (or at least acceptable) experiences with them.

Centurylink though? UGH! NEVER had a good experience with them since they changed over from Qwest.

Recently ditched Centurylink and now dealing with Comcast/Xfinity. Way more pleasurable experience thus far.

As far as the repeated question about where his ladder is, I am guessing that?s what he used to gain access to the roof of the shed so I?m sure he has it close by.

I thought CenturyLink rebranded as Lumen?

Trying to get away from their well-earned reputation by changing their name. Didn't seem to matter if it was US West, Qwest, or CenturyLink.

Ok guys here?s an update! First off I initially called Xcel as I thought it was their line before my neighbor told me otherwise-after hours and I talked to a human. After I found out it was CL I called Xcel back to cancel-a guy still came by to verify it wasn?t their line.

I started cruising the neighborhood after I finally got off the phone this morning and whaddya know, I found the crew. G&K Cable Construction. A guy that looked just like the one on my roof was one of the 3. Had a talk with the guy in charge-showed him my pics/video. He agreed the idiot shouldn?t have been on my shed roof-especially when they have a fiberglass ladder right on the truck. He gave me the name/number for the guy in charge-we talked on the phone, I offered to send him the pics/videos, said it wasn?t necessary and he?d make sure everything gets squared away today. I?ll see when I get home latter. Fur coated security is inside the house so they can access they yard.

Moral: Don?t piss off grumpy old guys.

Ironically I had the exact opposite experience. Never had a single problem with Centurylink, but Comcast was a constant nightmare the entire time I had them.

I'm convinced no utility or common carrier has good customer service and the only reason any of us ever says anything nice about any of them is that some of us get lucky and never have a technical or billing problem.

I believe Lumen is the commercial side of the house and CenturyLink is the residential side.
