CenturyLink provider overview

CenturyLink tends to have only one plan available in each serviceable area, giving customers fewer choices than most providers.

What we like

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

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.
