Disconnects all the time - So Pissed off.

I've been with the same internet provider for about 5 years. They started as Sprint, became Sprint/Embarq, then I think another buyout, then finally Centurylink. The problem has been around since the very beginning. My internet constantly drops out during random...

Lazy tech

1.0
I had my services installed back in July. When the tech showed up I explained to him what I wanted he took the router out of the box set it up then said ok here's your password have a good day, didn't check to see if everything was working Well it wasn't he didn't activate the router which I did now centurylink is wanting me to pay a $99 install fee? For what? They should be paying me the $99 for activating my services. Only had them for 2 weeks and I canceled services

I RATE TIHS SERVICE A 0

I called service and waited for 1 1/2 Hrs. Only to be disconnected when their REPRESATIVE WHO CAN HARDLY SPEAK ENGLISH SAYS I WILL RUN A LINE CHECK. I CALLED AGAIN WAITED 1HR 45 MINs REP FINALY ANSWER FIRST THING SHE WANTS ME TO DO IS UNPLUG THE PHONE FROM THE LINE. SHE COULD NOT UNDER STAND THAT MY UNPLUGING THE PHONE WOULD DISCONNECT MY CALL.

User's recommendation: FIND A DIFFERENT PHONE SERVICE.

Phone issues, Senior adult

1.0
I was speaking with my parent on Thursday and the audio quality was crap. So I said I'd call back. Phone went straight to voice mail system. Today is Sunday (08.09.2022), I tried calling (twice), but again went to voice mail system. I called Qwest/Lumen(s) to speak to repairs and the phone tree or rep hung up. Colour me furious, is an understatement. I need to check on my parents because they just moved without my help to somewhere I'm uneasy about. I Need To Know That They Are Okay. Fix the issues.

User's recommendation: Take notes, names, numbers, dates and etc.
