CenturyLink Customer Reviews:
What we like about CenturyLink
- No contract internet and phone plans – CenturyLink doesn’t have pesky long-term agreements and early termination fees to worry about
- Bundle with DIRECTV to get the complete package – Though not required, the CenturyLink and DIRECTV bundling option is great if you need both TV and internet
Things to consider about CenturyLink
- Your internet speed can vary depending on location – The speed of internet that CenturyLink offers in your area can vary, and fiber optic service is only available in select cities
- High fees – CenturyLink charges a $15 monthly fee for modem and router rental. Avoid this fee by purchasing your own equipment

Compare CenturyLink to other providers
CenturyLink’s fiber plans are solid in value. However, if you can only get DSL from CenturyLink, you may want to look for another provider that offers cable, fiber, 5G or satellite — which are all faster than DSL.
CenturyLink is comparable to other providers in pricing but also offers unlimited data and has no contract requirements.
