You can't drive down the street where I live without watching a Centurylink truck swerving all over the road, texting and driving. Today I pulled up to a stop sign and (Photo attached) this is what I saw. How do you report one of these phone zombies to Centurylink? Short answer: You CAN'T! Try calling any of their phone numbers and you get endless options none of which take you to a live person. I guess I'm going to have to start a YouTube Channel that just show's how bad Centurylink drivers are. They can't put their phone down when they drive, and they drive all over the road because they're staring at their phone most of the time. What type of company allows this behavior?

Again no internet service! My Microsoft is shutting down every morning with a problem and when I ask why it points to Century Link. I have filed a complaint with the Federal government last Sunday (no service) Too bad you increased my cost from $30 to $50 a month...If you want to lower my cost to $30 it will put an end to me filing complaints... I am retired and have time to file complaints for your service....When we had a repair man come he said my down rate was .85 and it would take 15-20 minutes to download Google. He also said most likely all my problems are coming from slow service from century Link! The balls in your court!

Been waiting for service since 4/30/19. Two cust reps said they would call me and never did. Made two trips to cottage for installation and to check on progress at 4 hours each. Still no service. If there was another provider in the area I wouldn’t be going through all this. There are 7 other cottages by ours and I surely won’t recommend you

The pain started yesterday when I discovered that neither my laptop nor desktop could download e-mail from my Centurylink e-mail box. I quickly diagnosed the problem (because I am savvy to internet transfer protocols). However, it took 1.5 HOURS to convince the low level tech that my e-mail clients were fine and talking to the POP server and the issue was on THEIR end. Eventually they escalated my issue up one level, promising to have a tech call me at around 3:00pm the next day. At half past midnight, a tech called me wanting remote access to my computer. This is, of course, what a tech does when they think your client doesn't connect to the server. She was rude, would not listen to me as I explained the problem, and hung up on me.

The next day I spent another hour with tech support jumping through similar hoops until one finally decided to create a trouble ticket with the IT department. IT recognized what I already knew but rejected the ticket saying that this was an isolated incident and they would not address it. I was then referred to the sales department who explained that I needed to buy a protection plan if I wanted to have problems like this solved. WHY should I pay to have a problem solved that is NOT of my own doing? It is the provider's responsibility to be sure their system WORKS. If a corrupt inbound e-mail is at fault, the provider has no responsibility to fix that e-mail but it IS on them to be sure their system is functional in spite of it. I pay for functional e-mail service and while I expect delays and glitches here and there, I do not deserve to be ignored like this!

I now have 3 hours invested in "tech support" and still can't download e-mail.

Hi, Called to ask what expense your company has in regards to cost to access each tv in the the house. I explained that Comcast charges me between 6 and 10 dollars a tv extra after I buy the package to access the service. on each tv. My question to the service rep on the phone was what charges Century link charges per tv. I explained i was in my research phase in checking out rates. The next thing I got was a dial tone. Not sure where to find this info. I have been with Comcast for 12 years and am ready to change but found no help with this guy in doing that. Called at 1055 thursday from Des moines wa.

I have CenturyLink Internet at two locations - home and 45 miles away at Apiary and pecan orchard.
On 15 April I upgraded my home Internet to accommodate my security camera. CenturyLink did the update at 5 PM on 14 April. at 5:03 PM my security camera at the remote location stopped working. (last picture time and date stamped) I discovered this on or about 25 April. Contacted CenturyLink, told them my Internet was down and security cameras were not transmitting any pictures. They made me a tech appointment for 2 May between hours of 1 PM and 5 PM. I drove to my apiary (45 miles) and waited in the rain all day waiting for the Tec. No show. They have my cell phone number - no calls.

I was told they sent me a email on 2 May that my appointment was rescheduled for 3 May.

- First how stupid is that - no internet and they send a notice via email.

- Second they had my phone number - why did they not call me.

I tried to call the Hillsboro Supervisor for the local CenturyLink Tec - no answer.

On 3 May at 9:35 I receive a text from the Tec saying she can not find my place - how stupid is that - I am the only place at the end of Linda's Lane with 4 ft x 4 ft signs that also include my phone number. She did not call me - she texted me and said she returned my ticket. When I called her back at the text number she told be too bad nothing she could do about it. I explained that my security system worked on that internet connection and that I was leaving for Alaska on 8 May- I need it repaired before then. I asked her what her name was and after a long pause she reluctantly gave me Melody. She had a pretty bad attitude when I challenged her on her statement "I could not find your place." She made no effort to find my place as one of her companion Tecs hunts on my place, her supervisor from Hillsboro has personally been to my place on previous problems and again there are 4 ft x 4 ft sigs at the gate with my cell phone number. Later she left me a phone message saying "we can talk about it." What kind of flipped attitude is that?????

So after I called Centurylink several times during the day on 3 May and demanded to talk to a supervisor I was rescheduled for 7 May between the hours of 8 am and 12 PM.

CenturyLink is a nightmare in our area for service. When you have a problem they could careless about taking care of you and a poor response. My wife is the manager of a large department store in Gatesville a few miles from my apiary. she has like problems with response time - hears her customers constantly complain about CenturyLink service.

Most of this it the attitude of supervisors and tecs. with the exception of one Tec named John (the only good one).

If you want to complain to CenturyLink you have to do it on Facebook or Twitter - there is no email. I do not and never will have a Facebook or twitter account. There are a lot like me - mostly Christians.

You need to retrain your supervisor and techs in our area or you are going to lose most of your customers when a new ISP comes to our area.

Century Link internet company.

Dear Sir / Madam,

RE: Century Link Equipment (modem)

I am writing this letter to dispute a claim regarding the returning of an equipment (modem) to Century Link; account number 402 494 964 7920. Your department has forward the claim to collection agency (EOS CCA, PO BOX 981025, Boston, MA 02298)

I moved to Lynnwood, Washington from South Sioux City, Nebraska in May, 2016 and terminate internet service in South Sioux City. Century link was failed to provide me with a return box and mailing material on time. The equipment was mailed to them on the later date as I contacted them with a reminder to send me the return mailing labels. In my understanding this matter had been resolved.

At this time, I am seriously thinking of finding legal help from small claims court to solve this matter as it potentially could affect my financial credibility, and my reviews about Century Link are not very great any longer.

Sincerely,

We have been working trying to get century link at our business since December of last year! After signing the contract we were told that our service would be installed and up and running around 2/20/19. This was great with us. We were anxious to get rid of our current internet/phone system. On 2-7-19 we received an email that our date was slid to 5/30/19! We couldn't believe it and asked what would take so long. We were told it was our city permitting process. I pushed the and it was issued on 3/26/19, a month ago!. Then we were told that it would take a long time for the building owner to sign the contract. I was the building owner so signed it that day. Why wasn't this done at the start of the project? Then we heard it was the engineer. We have a former century link employee working for us who has coordinated with the engineer and all that is done. We initially had good contact with our project manager and relationship manager but now nothing. We have informed our current suppliers of the change and now are paying big bucks to keep the current system going. The people we have been dealing with are Cory Settoon (project manage and Jennifer Martinez relationship manager). What is taking so long????!!!!

We moved into our house at 776 W Brewster in Minden Nebraska in Jan 2019 and found our underground cable to house
was broken some where. The installer laid a new cable on the ground to get us phone and internet, and said they'd be back to
bury new cable. It is now April 22 2019 and the people hired to take care of our yard don't want to mess with a cable laying
on the ground Either we get this fixed ASAP or we go to another provider. When we moved from Central City Nebr. to Minden
the sales lady begged us to stay with you guys, so we did since we had century link for 6 years in Central City. But it is time
for you guys to get this taken care of. Need to hear something from you this week of your intentions....Thanks Don Graham
PS best numbers to get us are 402-631-1257-don, or 402-631-1650-Louise

my wifi service sucks,i keep losing it time after time daily,had new modem installed last yr.still have the same problems,slow wifi and i'm paying more for it now than last yr.customer service sucks too.can't get anyone,on hold for hours!!

We have been a CenturyLink customer for over 40 years (started when they were “US West”, then “Qwest” now “CenturyLink”). In the last year their phone service and customer service has gone in the toilet – and it badly needs to be flushed! We have been billed for service calls when the problem was in their own wiring down the street. We have been wrongly billed for a modem. For the last year we have placed over a dozen service calls and had countless numbers of technicians to our home to check the lines and every time the problem is in CenturyLink's old lines, between their boxes and our house. The static on our phone line becomes so bad when it rains, and for weeks after, that we are unable to carry on a conversation with the person on the other end without a fingernails-on-a-chalkboard screeching static.

I have lost count on the number of technicians that have come to our home in the last nine months. Chad Dykes, a “supervisor” with CenturyLink, has asked me to call him directly (602 565-9133) rather than call the typical repair number. For the first couple of months of calls to Chad he has tried to help by sending out repairmen, often the same day. But, now he doesn't pick up his phone and when I leave a message about the ongoing interruption in service - I have left four in the last two weeks with him and a fellow supervisor, Jim Davis (602 474-2408) – I do not receive a return call. Keep in mind, Chad was the one who offered his number to me to call him directly. Apparently they are receiving so many calls like mine that Jim now has a recording on his voicemail, “If you are calling about a repair, call the repair number.” DON'T DO THAT! The calls are outsourced to Timbuktu and if you can even understand what they are saying, in the end, they will charge you $80-100 dollars to send a technician to your home even when they find the problem is with the CenturyLink equipment. That has happened to us.

During my last call with Chad, last year, he admitted that the CenturyLink wiring (infrastructure) is old and needs to be replaced, but the company does not want to pay to replace the wiring that is running between the boxes and the homes they service – I am quoting him. Make some coffee, call in sick and do an internet search for “CenturyLink complaints” and “CenturyLink class action lawsuit”. Allegations of employee harrassment and wrongful termination, securities fraud, phone and internet service complaints are replete. So, now, I am off to file a complaint with the Arizona Corporation Commission (for what good that will do).

I would give a negative score if possible. Have been working with Century Link for almost 4 years. Was under a three year contract for phones which I did not renew but had to keep CenturyLink for internet only. That was mistake, the service has gotten 10x's worse as well as charges. Continue to charge outrageous fees for things they can not prove we owe. Threaten to disconnect our service if we don't pay. Century Link is taking advance of a non-profit community mental health agency. Our budget is very small and can not afford the outrageous charges they come up with. We are also in a very small community with limited options for internet and phone services. Customer service is horrible. Never talk to the same person twice and the next person doesn't know what is going on. Even our customer representative won't call us back because he can't explain why Century Link is doing what they are doing and has no recourse for resolution. The most unprofessional company I have ever seen. Criminal behavior. The government needs to step in and fix this company.

For the last 7 months our telephone systems continuously become non-functional. I'm the Director of Plant Operations for Promise Hospital. Our patients families are trying to contact them and they are unable to. The Doctors on staff are not able to reach out to the Clinical Staff. Our phone lines have been out for an entire day. Members of this organization are looking for answers a lot better than Century Link is working on the system. Our hospital cannot function properly when the lines of communications are down. We cannot provide great patient care when this happens. How can you help us do better and be better? Is there a priority list we can be placed on whenever our lines go down? We are a Hospital in the business of saving lives and/or making people better. If you look at the email trail sent today from you to my Hospital it should provide you with a better understanding of this complaint. My contact information is 318.425.4096 (work) and 318.529.8802 (cell)

Good afternoon I hope that you are having a wonderful day. My name is Regina Harris and I am an customer with Century Link. I have been a customer for a long time.

The reason I am trying to contact you is because I am having a big issue. I live in Farmville, Va and the one mile area from the south and north of me everyone can get up to 100 Mbps but I can only get 8Mbps.

I am facing regular disturbances when I work on the internet with school, my job, play on my X-box and even when trying to keep a conversation going with my phone. It just kicks me and then comes back.

Please kindly fix the issue by extending the amount of Mbps that comes through my area. I hope that you will find my matter concerning and work on it as soon as possible. Thank you for all that do and have a blessed day.

Eight years of absolutely the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced in any industry. The current episode is only one example of the horrible experience we’ve had with them over the nearly the last decade.

After multiple hours on the phone today I’ve been giving nothing but the runaround and claims things are “escalated“ with no guarantees of the time for repair. I have screenshots of the calls and the time spent I have screenshots of the text and emails. At this point the story is so absurd that no one would assume we are not exaggerating. I am also reaching out to local Chicago new stations to see if they are interested in doing an investigative piece on the horrible and infamous service people in our area received from Central he. I think consumers should be made aware of this.

Since May 2018 I have been dealing with DSL poor line quality due to CRC errors in the hundreds and FEC errors in the millions in a weeks time. Our service prior to May 2018 was good for the 3.5 MBPS but starting in May we started seeing thing just buffering and buffering. My daughter was trying to watch 15 min school videos for her college classes and it was taking 45 min or more to get through one video. Prior to May the internet service was good enough that I could work from how and hold meetings on my IP phone and do screen share meeting but not anymore. At some times just checking email is a buffering nightmare.

Attached is a recent DSL status snapshot from the modem. The techs come out and do very little, put there test meter on the line and look. So far the drop from the service post has been changed. The Modem has been changed at least 4 time since May. Modules on the line have been removed according to the techs, the plug the modem connect to was changed and the CAT5 between the service box and the plug has been changed. I am just one of seven CenturyTel customers on our street which is having slow and/or error laden issues. I have been trying to work with CenturyTel since May 2018 calling in every couple of week and working with the techs which come out but no progress has been made. Still the performance is very poor and the errors are overwhelming.

after your company was able to get your system running we were not able to access our tv. when we called they directed us to an off shore account person who told us our computer was hacked. You have no record of the call and who we spoke to so I wonder if it was a scam. we are 100% dissatisfied with your service!!!

internet at my home was not working this morning and is still down. When I called the service center, half the time the line was busy and when I did get through my call was dropped 5 times, sorry but your service both internet ( this is the 3rd time we have had service problems) and your service numbers are substandard to say the least. If I do not hear from you by 8am tomorrow morning and in a satisfactory way, I will be filling a complaint with our state's Public regulatory commission on your very poor service both internet and service response.

got no dial tone on phone called in yesterday,they were to be here between 1p.m. and 5p.m. but did not show up. very poor service.

We Ordered CenturyLink internet service on-line and had the service installed on 10/26/18. We paid $115.81 for the 1st month service and installation. We are staying in a RV park and in late November we had to take our RV to a shop for some repairs. Two weeks later we returned to our site and hooked up our router, but the internet was not working. After a chat line exchange, and many phone calls (plus being discontinued and transferred at least 7 times!) we find out our service was discontinued. Now we have to order new service and someone has to come out to physically switch us back on. that takes 4 days for them to come out to do this, so we are without internet for another 7 days total. Plus they are charging us another service fee to reconnect our service. Centurylink is reimbursing us for the initial hook up costs. but why do I have to go 7 days without service?! We did not disconnect our service, Centurylink did that!

Also, I ordered service from Centurylink, I don't care if it's called a simple account, regular account, or any account at all. Yet Centerylink seems to have a firewall between customer service on different account types. NOT CUSTOMER CENTRIC! I got transferred 7 different times, put on hold a dozen times, had my call dropped and disconnected 3 times, and it was always "oh that's this department, or that's that department, someone else needs to help on that. I spent two hours on the phone today to try to try to sort this out. Now I have to wait for service again, and someone needs to do something which will probably take 10 seconds when they get here.

Told may different things when asking about service!!!!
Asked for things in writing and they refused !
Supervisors do not teturn calls!!!

After switching from Comcast to CenturyLink about a year ago, I have had nothing but problems. Since I used Centurylink for my basic landline, I decided to gamble and try bundling to save money. I even set payment up on my credit card and purchased their Modem/Router.

When I first had DSL “set up”- I paid $60 for set up alone. The tech arrived and got me going and even brought Router with him. The NEXT DAY, I was without phone and/or internet. I had to go to a neighbors to make a service call after going through all their automated BS. A few days later (without phone or internet) a senior tech arrived and worked on problem for several hours. He said everything was fine now and he removed 2600 feet of unused copper from the house. I later found out that they upgraded my phone plan without informing me. I tried to set up and configure options such a no solicitation and disabling answering (as I have a machine which I prefer). Trying to get someone to help with just logging in was impossible- I tried so many time with the answer “sorry, I am unable to help” I just gave up and cursed them. They told me that they reset my password, but guess what- they did not.
Two months ago, my phone went out again, but at least I still had internet. No here is another thing that really annoyed me. I tried filing a service request to fix my landline (no cell phone) and they informed me that due to security, they could not dispatch a service tech based on internet request alone and told me to call in request. I became more outraged and told them THE PHONE OUTAGE WAS THE PROBLEM.
I had to constantly contact them to check status as I had no phone and just received multiple emails asking for a review of service when NONE had been given. The lowest rating they had was a one so for feedback I asked them to add a ZERO (or even negative ratings).
They kept closing the ticket because they said they remotely checked the circuit and all was fine on “their” end. After a week I finally heard the phone ring and it was a CenturyLink tech. I assumed problem was fixed and as soon as I hung up to call billing dept., again no dial tone so had to start service all over again. They tried to tell me it was my telephones and brushed me off to another department who would charge $$$$ to come test/diagnose my home phones. Again, no one ever appeared. Note- for each time I requested service, they told me to be home and gave a time range of 6-8 hours of wasting my time. After 11 days they finally resolved the issue without ever showing up at my house. It was a broken terminal on the outside termination box yards away from the house.

I was quoted a price of $80/Month with a “no price change guarantee” as stated in their TV commercials. I just received a post card from Centurylink stating that after reviewing customer billing, they had been underbilling and not charging Federal Universal Service Fund (FUSF) taxes and will be adding it to the next billing. They informed me that there will be no back billing for their mistake.
This is not only the worst experience trying to receive service, but false advertising.

Billing agent Jordan hung up on me while I trying to understand my billing - very bad

18 days no phone service different lie each time I call

Called 5 minutes apart recording said will be repaired Sept. 1
representive said August 29

I have sold my home and contacted Century Link to disconnect internet service effective August 3, 2018.

Instead they disconnected service July 16, 2018. A supervisor told me it would be reconnected by July 18, 2018.

Now they say they cannot reconnect because they no longer service the area where I live.

I have been a customer for 2 years.

Now I have no internet service until August 4, 2018. I am definitely not staying with Century Link and I am now switching to WAVE which provides broadband service to my new house.

8 days for a repair to a home line. Had to call customer service 5 times to connect with a person due to disconnections, and "sorry we're closed" recordings on a "24/7" contact number.

We had "high speed internet" and ended up cancelling after 4 years of overpaying and service not working at all or at dial up speed, we cancelled it. When we would call to complain, customer service representatives would apologize and could not believe that we had that kind of service. Our phone line goes out all of the time, which is SUPER inconvenient because we get 1 bar on cell phone service, it takes 5 days for them to look at, and then when it gets fixed, nobody tells you or bothers to call!! Meanwhile, I am sitting at home burning my vacation time waiting for a tech that was NEVER going to show up and guess what????? I still get to pay my full bill. I feel that we should receive a discount on our bill when we don't have service this long. I actually feel sorry for the Customer Service Representatives for what they have to listen to, when it really isn't their fault.

My complaint is about my mothers account with Centurylink. I handle my mothers account because she does not understand anything about the internet or computers. A sales rep told my mother and me that the 10 mps was fast enough to stream videos and play games. It is not! She cannot use her On Demand because the internet is too slow. This is the only reason she wants internet. When she tries to watch videos on Youtube, it buffers constantly, even when she pauses the video and waits for it to load. My mother is planning on dropping them and going with a better company.

I contacted the phone company 3 weeks ago and they fixed the problem. However, every time we experience a bad wind, heavy rain or a heavy snow storm my service does not work. I pay for the service monthly and I am getting tired of the issue and constantly calling you. I would appreciate the issue being resolved once and for all or I feel that I must switch my services to the Cable Company. I have been with your company for over 40 years and really wish that this issue could be resolved quickly so that I do not continue to have this problem. I wonder if anyone has actually thought to check the telephone line itself!

Around July or Aug I decided to take your high speed internet and unlimited calling at the rate of 85 dollars. Over all around $ 95 including taxes and fees. Around oct the bill changed to over $ 100. At the time it was suppose to be FLAT RATE . Since Oct I've been being charged for local long distance. Had to call every month for adjustments. Have talked to so many people that I've lost count . Effective In march if this problem is not resolved I will no longer need your service. Thank You Tom D Tugman

Thru their website I ordered a speed upgrade for my internet. I received email confirmation with ref. #C76105766. It stated service upgrade would happen 12/8/17. Did not happen on that date. Emailed them and received email back saying call them. Called them but their phone system kept hanging up on me. 6 times. Did not accept punched in and voiced account number. When finally got through as having no account number available the phone system put me on hold then rang once and then hung up! Tried again and when they finally answered I started to explain problem and was hung up on with out a word being said from their end. Tried again and finally got a person to hear my problem and he submitted a whole new order. Said I have to wait another week for system upgrade. Could not explain why initial order not done. I asked if there was a complaint dept. I could talk to about the automated system that kept screwing up and hanging up on me. He checked and was told no such dept. existed. I laughed and thanked him for his time.
I want to note that I was patient and polite at all times. I did hear hear loud yelling and profanity going on in the background while talking to the polite young man assisting me.

I just moved into a house at 8 Rivers Bend ct. Moscow Mills, Mo. 63362. My complaint has dot do with NOT being able to get internet service, when centurylink is the only service in my subdivision!!!! When I called to get service I was told that there is no available lines in my area, and that is a waiting list. Now the problem with that is I found out my neighbor has been on this “list” for 2 YEARS, which is not acceptable. The subdivision, Majestic Lakes, will be building new houses in the next few months, and what are you going to tell the people who buy these houses? That they have to be put on a waiting list? and not to have updated lines with no CAP on the speed. We are in the process of contacting a lawyer yo get another internet provider in this subdivision.

Transferred 9 times then hung up on. Nothing done to resolve my problem! Paying for services that are supposed to be great are Not! Doing things without my authorization to my line and being told that it will e fixed but isnt

At the end of last month I called to complain about periodic lack of connection to the internet. The person I spoke with said she would make adjustment on my next bill. My next bill dated Oct. 12, 2017, just arrived. There is no adjustment shown. The problem I have with being able to connect with the internet has been happening for quite a while; I have lodged numerous complaints. I do not like being charged for full service when I do not have full service. Also I don't like being placated with false promises of adjustments. I have been a CenturyLink customer for years (in fact I was a customer under my husband's name when your company was CenturyTel) Believe me, I am a very dissatisfied customer!

Arranged to have a second static ip connection installed. We now have only one. Confirmation number is 03507931 our account number is 311807724. My appointment date was originally Oct 16. Service Tech never showed up. I called and was told the day was not the 16th but the 19th. (my notes say differently) Oct 19th rolls around and again a no show. Called for answers and was told that the tech assigned to our job does not know how to install a static ip and if I didn't mind the best guy they have for this job will be at our office first thing the next morning. Told he would be there by 8 or 9. Again no show. I just called again and was told that the Tech has us down but is busy on another job and may or may not get to us today. WHAT THE HECK!!! This is just too much. The person on the phone says that because of the hurricane the men are slammed. THEN WHY NOT TELL US THAT!!! I have scheduled 3 times now a IT guy to be here and each time I have to keep sending him away. DOES COMCAST DO THIS??? Hummm I wonder.

I have had problems for over a month and cannot get help. I am hearing impaired so I cannot call. This is the letter I wrote after Century Link told me to send as much information as possible.

Comment: RE: Ticket# NTM000019465254. For the last 2 months, my WIFI has been very slow. Then in the Beginning of Sept, I started having problems getting onto sights such as my bank, Dr, and mail order prescriptions and even Century link to check my bill but I had paid $188.70 when I had used friends computer to get into my bank and check my bills.I noticed Century Link did not get paid so I paid it thru my bill pay. I depend on my computer as I am hearing impaired and cannot hear on the phone. I rec'd an email saying to contact Century link cuz I owed over $300. I tried numerous times to get on chat but was unable-I kept getting a message saying-We had an unexpected error, please try again. Then I could not get onto my email-it said password incorrect so I changed my password numerous times and it said same. I went to the Coon Rapids office on and brought a copy of the check that my bank had sent to prove I paid the bill and also to talk to them about not being able to get on my email and how bad my service was. He tried to get on my emailed and couldn't. He got ahold of financial and sent copies of check ect. On the fax, he wrote to contact my husbands phone to let me know when the investigation was over. He even circled that. They also told me that they were having problems with wifi in my area but it should be fixed soon. The next day, I had a phone call from Century link. I told them it was a caption phone and they had to give me time to see what they were saying. They hung up so then next day I went back to the store and found out they found I had paid. I talked to them again about the service and the fact that I could not get onto my email. I also told them I wanted my phone cancelled. They told me they could not do that, I had to contact them myself. I told them again that I cannot hear and my chat did not work. They said it should be fixed soon and keep trying. At home-I kept trying. I had to get ahold of my Dr and order my meds thru the mail order. I went back to the store and there was only 1 person (on a Saturday )working and he was on phone. I waited about half hr only to be told he cannot do anything I would have to come back Mon and talk to the person that helped me before. I went back on Monday and talked to the manager Brendan Tloigan. He worked with me trying to get me back on. It seemed like he did but I wanted to make sure I could get on so I asked to used their computer. It again did not work. I was able to get onto chat at the store but after a very long wait between every time she asked me something, Brendan then contacted Century Link and was again told again they were having problems. I was at the store for 1 1/2 hrs trying to get this fixed and it still was not fixed. I kept trying a few more days but my computer was so slow-would take 3-5 min to get on anything. I used someone elses computer to pay my bills but I was late on Verizon bill for which I was charged $25. I went back to store again-this was my 5th trip there. It was obvious that the person who helped me was not happy I was back. I told him I still having problems. He told me there was nothing he could do. He said his manager already tried and could do nothing so he couldn't. I was so upset at the way he said it. I told him I would have to cancel if this would not be fixed. He said OK, I can do that. I asked about what would happen because I was bundled with Direct TV.He said that would be a problem because I would have to pay more if I wasn't bundled, He then asked if I wanted someone to come out and check it. I said yes because if anything would help, I wanted to stay with Century Link. He scheduled one to come out between 4-6 on wed so that my husband would be home. The technician called my husband that morning and wanted to come right then. It was very inconvenient for me and I had wanted my husband there but said OK. When he got there, I showed him how to close fence we have so my cat would not get out. About 20 min later, I went outside for something and I noticed the technician had left the gate open. I could not find our cat. I had to call my husband who came home from work to find her. He missed 2-3 hours of work over this. The technician had put in a new modem. He said something about the wires being bad because they went behind my fridge so he moved it to a different place. Now I rec'd an order change confirmation. It says I got a phone installed and was $60. What the heck is this? I already had a phone installed. He changed the modem, not install the phone. All this has cost me so much in time and money and caused me much distress. I am on social security so cannot afford this. I drove about 150 miles going back and forth to the store 5 times, I had to pay a late fee on Verizon bill, husband missed 2-3 hrs work due to the tech not closing gate. I have been so depressed since this all started and it still is not fixed. I feel like I was not treated right when I went to the store, because I was hearing impaired. I had to ask them to repeat what they said a lot to make sure I was hearing it right What is a hearing impaired person supposed to do if I cannot go in person for help. I just now went back onto Century link to check my currant bill again. this is what I keep seeing----Oh no! We're so sorry. We are experiencing technical difficulties and can't complete your request. Rest assured, we've been notified of the problem and will do our best to make sure it doesn't continue happening. Don't worry, everything is going to be ok. To get back on track, please use the other links on this page. Susan Szymanski

Today I have been trying to see my bill but am unable to get into my account.

I feel like I have not been treated right as I cannot hear. They tell me to call--I can't call. I do not think they understand that I am deaf and cannot call.I went to the store 5 times because I could talk to them in person but they say they cannot help me. However they did say they can disconnect me. I have been a customer since Century Link took over Quest and would like to stay a customer. What more can I do?

I would like to be compensated someway as this has been so consuming and has cost me so much time, money and causing depression.

Can you please look into it?

Thank You,

Susan Szymanski

I cancelled CenturyLink 1 year ago and did not have any equipment to be returned because I did not rent any equipment from CenturyLink but in fact I bought it. A few months after I had cancelled I received a bill from CenturyLink in the amount of $98 and some cents for unreturned equipment. I called customer service and the young ladies over my account and she confirmed that I owe nothing because I never rented equipment but paid for it in full when I purchased it. She assured me that she will note my account and remove the charge and that I would have nothing to worry about. Yesterday I received a letter from a collection agency for unreturned equipment and the amount was $98 and a few cents. They're trying to charge me for something that I bought and paid in full. CenturyLink is a pack of Thieves and con artists as well as scammers.

A Centurylink representative comes to my house sometimes up to six times a day a couple days a month. Even though there is a very nice (No Soliciting) sign next to our front door they complete ignore it and don't stop talking. Centurylink is the only company to ever be so obnoxious and irritating to the point now there is absolutely never use them. I don't care if the service is free. Centurylink has horrible practices. And I know almost all if not every neighbor of mine thinks the same way I do about there business practices. Don't come around my house anymore Centurylink.

Sat on the phone for 2.5 hours just trying to get a basic home phone service. Kept getting hung up. The last call the lady too told me that the number (account) they gave me she couldn't find. Which the last 6people I had some too could. Well she put me on "hold" to speak to a supervisor. After 30mins. She tells me they are now closed and I'm going to have to call back tomorrow. And try to figure it out!

My daughter called to set up CenturyLink Excel service and was routed to someone who sold her a CenturyLink bundle that we do not want and my daughter can't afford. After four separate calls, I was told they can't cancel service in first 24 hours! Makes no sense. They have no problem selling unneeded services to a naive person and then can't cancel the order? I was given different numbers to call by each person I talked to. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told the supervisor would tell me the same thing. They use a hard sell approach and then make it impossible to cancel.

Had 2 CenturyLink sales people knock on my door (end of June 2016) promoting prism tv, said i was with direct tv and i was happy, showed me i could save 60 dollars a month, i informed them that i would be moving in a couple of months (Sept. 15, 2016) they said it would be a free install here and there, said alright, if it's free and i'm saving money. Called Sept 6, 2016 to coordinate move, was told i couldn't take prism with me, the fiber optic lines haven't been laid on the street i was moving to previous address on 79th.

I moved around the corner on 80th. Upset because I broke my contract with direct t v to go to prism, but alright. Next thing please don't disconnect my services until Sept 15th (day of move) they shut everything off on Sept 14th at midnight, on the phone with customer service, loyalty, retention team from 9:30 am to 6:30 pm. Spoke to 14 different reps at the end of everything was told i would receive a $330.00 credit and not to be charged a fee to break my prism contract.

After all it wasn't my fault i couldn't take services with me, by the time i got off the phone with Brandi in the retention ream, she told me my final bill would be $50. I asked if i should pay it now, she said no, to wait till the final bill arrived, when that came it was $378., total thought they forgot to add credit. Next thing I know internet was cut off, I spent the next day again on the phone with century link, they told me they would not give that amount of credits to a customer, that there was no record of what i was talking about and hung up on my 3 times.

I finally got a hold of a rep who literally pieced together what happened to me when they lied to just get me off the phone, he said unfortunately his fellow co workers do this all the time and i should expect a call from Brandi's supervisor within 48 hours, of course no call, needless to say my stress level was at an all time high, I can't believe a company of their magnitude would treat their customers this way!! I then called after the 48 hour mark was up and these crazy people wanted to revisit the whole fiasco and try and keep me as a customer, are you kidding me?

All I wanted at this point was to send me out a box to send them back their equipment and to make sure they stopped billing me and hung up on 2 times wasted time 3 hours this time, called the next day finally discontinued services and to mail out return equipment box, then i was informed i would be charged a fee for breaking my contract. I told them it's ok for you folks to lie to me and break your word to me but you want to charge me?

I then informed them I will be disputing the charges and they were the worst company ever! Up until this incident I never had a problem with century link, but I always heard of other people talk about how they put them through the ringer, but this by far was the most upsetting worst display of customer service I've ever experienced!

I called CenturyLink HQ and requested phone service explained that I had previously had service but the line ran no where. I had built a new home and needed service. They came out and turned on the service but did not route me a line into the house. I called and explained three more times . Finally some one came out he was very nice and said he understood and would help. I waited two more weeks and called and was told I had canceled the service. I had not cancelled it.

Finally service started the line was bad I called and they said if they come into your home it will cost you but their is no reason to have a phone that is not working half the time 5 days of the two weeks I had the phone it was not working. They man came out and found the trouble was u the road. He was Nice and helpful. The people that came and ran the line were very nick but the most of the people I speak with over the phone have not been two have been nice the rest have not they have been rude with a derogatory tone, confrontational attitude.

I asked for a basic service we mainly use or cell phones and I had yet to get the price we agreed upon when we ordered the phone. I don't know if I have made someone mad or what but the service that I have been receiving is poor.

This complaint is about CenturyLink and the scam they are running. On August 22, 2016 I call CenturyLink customer care to have my internet service moved to my new resident (2 blocks away, but same town). I spoke to a CSR named Angelica. I told her I just wanted to move my internet service. my price at that time was $29.95 plus $3.99 for internet recovery fee. Angelica told me she could give me a deal if i got DirectTV service thought centuryLink. I was on the phone with her for over 2 hours and I was told i could get centuryLink internet for $14.95 plus $3.99 internet recovery fee a month for the first 12 months then $24.95 for the last 12 months on a 2 year agreement, and DirectTV for $60.00 a month for the first 12 months on a 2 year agreement.

The DirectTV service deal would include service for 2 TVs, no monthly fee for HD DVR Genie and additional receiver in bedroom, and 3 months of HBO, Stars, and Showtime free. To guarantee the price i would have to put the acct on auto pay, which i did. I included the protection plan with DirectTV for an additional price of $7.99 a month. In total my monthly bill should have been $86.93, no additional fees or taxes. But they did the bait and switch on me. My bill was for $120.13.

So I called centuryLink and was on the phone with them for 1 hour and 59 minutes. i told them i was not getting what i was promised. First CSR i talked to said she would credit me the $11.46, but then said i would have to speak to DirectTV to correct their charges. (it's both companies on the same bill thru centuryLink). she transfer me to a CSR at DirectTV named Scott. I told him the story and we had to contact CenturyLink and do a three-way call to correct this. Scott stayed on the phone with me while i got passed on to 3 other people (Michelle, Jordan and the Supervisor Jose).

Michelle tried to fix it then put me on hold, then Jordan picked up and i had to start all over again. Jordan said he had to run another credit report on me cause it wasn't showing that the first CSR Angelica did it (she told me she did and had asked for my SSI number). Jordan asked for my SSI number at which time I had to tell Scott from DirectTV he had to leave the 3 way call and he did.

Jordan then tried to tell me there was nothing he could do about my bill and said "sometimes people here will just say things that aren't true and he can't do anything about that. I then asked for a Supervisor and was transferred to Jose. He said he would not give me the price I was promised in the beginning and said there was no one else i could talk to about it. (he was the end of the line), then said he was going to hang up on me because there was nothing he would do about it. I tried calling again but got passed around again and again. I was told if i cancelled the service I would be charged a $480.00 fee. This is crazy. How can a company like centuryLink do this and get away with it? I was lied to, they used the "bait and switch" on me and I call this fraud.

I have been waiting for a $16 refund check and it is sitting in my closed account. I have called 7 times have been on hold and transferred around so many times and no end in sight. I get that $16 may not seem like much money to you but it is to me.

I have been getting these spamming phone calls that go on for weeks non-stop they just keep calling me and calling me everyday of the week. I have called CenturyLink before and they keep telling me there is nothing they can do. I have Call Rejection that does no good at all and I am fed up sick and tired of the bullcrap. I want these phone calls to stop right now?

I was visiting a store today and two of the CenturyLink employee representatives were there to represent and sell product. I visited the store (Walmart at 136th avenue in Westminster, Colorado) to purchase one item that we needed for a television installation. Your representative (for purposes of description, he was a black male with braids pulled back) tried to stop me & was incredibly disrespectful when I said said no to him and kept walking. He continued to say what he "was trying to give me".

When my fiancé and I walked around the corner, the rude employee mocked me. Then, he and the other representative started laughing. My fiancé went back over to him, stating that we could hear what they were saying about us. He said "I know" and continued his behavior. I have already spoken to customer service at Walmart, they do not want their customers being treated poorly in their store. This young man is an embarrassment and the way that I will remember CenturyLink.

This letter is long overdue but is written to express my sincere anger and disappointment with my experience with CenturyLink. I had been a faithful customer of Comcast and had been receiving my internet and cable tv through them but in March 2016 decided to explore my options secondary to cost. I called CenturyLink on or about March 7th to inquire about rates for both internet and TV service. I spoke with a representative named Robert at length about the services and rates offered through CenturyLink.

At that time I was still under contract through Comcast and informed him that unless I was saving a substantial amount on my bills it wouldn’t make sense to pay the $180 early termination fee to Comcast. Robert verified the following information to me. With a two year commitment and for a locked monthly rate of $62.62 I would receive Direct TV (the Xtra package) for two TVs within my home along with internet at the speed of 40b/second. In addition I would receive a $100 Visa gift card through Direct TV.

This all sounded too good to be true so I repeated this offer to him several times to make sure I heard this right. He continued to tell me that this was an accurate price for two years. Although I was still a little nervous about canceling my Comcast contract and signing on I couldn’t pass up the savings that I would accumulate over the two years. I also knew that the automated message I heard stated that the conversation would be recorded for quality and that if for some reason things didn’t go exactly as promised that I could fall back on that. I proceeded to sign up with Century Link, pay Comcast the early termination fee of $180 and enjoy my new services with significant savings. Well unfortunately things did not go as promised, not even close. Although my first bill was $61.82 I was surprised to see my next bill due at $107.21.

So I called CenturyLink on 5/6/16 and spoke with Anna. I explained my concern about my new bill and explained that I spoke extensively with Robert. She informed me that Robert no longer worked there and that he made a “mistake” when quoting me that price. Not only did she tell me my rate was going to be significantly higher than promised but that in the second year of the contract it would go up an additional $30/month. She informed me that she couldn’t help it if Robert told me the wrong information but that I was still obligated by the contract to keep paying the higher rate.

She went on to tell me that she had went to law school for over two years and knew that there wasn’t anything I could do about this. She also stated that if I wanted the $100 gift card that I would have to contact Direct TV myself and request this. I asked to speak to a manager and was transferred to Fred. I requested CenturyLink review my call to confirm the information I had given. He stated he would make a request to do so and that I would here from a representative within 10 days. I also asked him to request that they call me after 4:00 so that I could take their call. After getting off the phone with Fred I called Direct TV and inquired about the $100 gift card. They informed me that since Century Link offered this gift card that I would have to get it from them. Needless to say I have never received a gift card.

On 5/10 and 5/11 during my work hours I received messages from Kristin at CenturyLink asking me to return her calls regarding the recorded call. I called the number she left on 5/11 at 1:25 p.m. and spoke with Joan and asked to speak with Kristin. I was informed that she was unavailable but that Joan would pass on my information to Kristin and my request that she call back after 4:00. On 5/12 at 3:50 p.m. I called and was told that Kristin was gone for the day but that the receptionist would send an email to her to let her know that I called.

On 5/12 at 4:10 I received a call from Justin who said he reviewed my notes and he informed me that Kristin was gone for the weekend. He said after reviewing my information the best CenturyLink could do was offer me $20 off my bill if I sign up for automatic withdrawals and that he couldn’t do anything about my Direct TV bill. He said I needed to honor my contract. I stated that I didn’t know why I had to honor my word when CenturyLink is obviously not honoring theirs. I asked him to send to me in writing the offer he made regarding the $20 discount. He said it was against policy to send me a written quote. He also stated that he had not personally reviewed the recording but from the notes he had from Kristin this was all they could offer me.

On 5/16 at 3:00 p.m. I called again attempting to reach Kristin to ask her if she had reviewed my call. I was told by Justin that Kristin was unavailable. He said that he reviewed my notes and that I had agreed to a plan that was for over $75/month. I denied this and asked him if he had actually listened to the recorded call. He said he had not but that this was in the notes from Kristin. I said I wanted to speak with her and he told me that there was no need to speak with her, that this was the best offer Century Link could give me. He said that CenturyLink was unwilling to work with me anymore on this. After once again explaining to him everything Robert had told me he said to me that sometimes customers don’t always tell the truth.

Since this time I have given up. I have never been allowed to speak with the only person, Kristin, who apparently listened to my initial call. Every month when I receive my CenturyLink bill I become upset. I am currently paying about $40 more per month ($480/yr.) for the first year than I was promised. The second year it goes up to $70 more per month ($840/yr.) during the second year. That’s a total of $1,320 more than what I had initially agreed to on the phone with Robert ($62/mo.). In addition I paid $180 to get out of my Comcast contract and I never received the $100 gift card I was promised. So I am stuck having paid $180 to get out of my contract, $1320 more than promised over the two year contract plus I never received the $100 gift card promised.

You can see why I am so upset with my Century Link experience and at this point have no intention of ever using this service again after my contract expires. I would very much appreciate a review of my case as well a response to this letter. I would like to believe that the customer service personnel at CenturyLink are not told to lie to potential customers to get them to sign onto their service. I would like to believe that the recording of conversations is actually used to verify information discussed during the call. I would like to believe that CenturyLink is a quality company that stands behind their word. I am currently not convinced of any of the above.
