Century Link is better than Xfinity in terms of pricing but that's about it
Decent, better than competitors but could be better and have more consistent Wifi speeds.
Pros
CenturyLink has no contract unlike Xfinity which is 12 month contract. And it also has 940 mbps down and up.
Cons
Wifi speeds is about 50mbps by default. If you plug in ethernet you can get to 940 Mbps. But from asking around, it seems like everyone is hard stuck to around 50mbps via Wifi no matter what. It could be the free modem they provided is just bad.
Reasons for choosing CenturyLink
Chose over Comcast Xfinity's "gigabit" because Xfinity only has 20 mbps up and it's super hidden. Xfinity has all these gotchas and that CenturyLink simply doesn't have. Comcast Xfinity has too much gotchas.

Niche markets for high priced services
I have been working with CenturyLink or part of it for 20 years. It was originally Qwest and CenturyTel, and Qwest has always had billing issues. It seems the merger brought out the worst in both companies. Their customer support is non-existent, if you ever do need support get ready to spend a day on hold and being disconnected many times until you finally end up with someone who may be able to help, and then you will get disconnected again an lose all hope, I think it's their model. I often just ignore issues until they are critical because I don't have the time or patience to sit on the phone for hours. And this part kills me, no matter what number you press, what you say, who you say it to, as a business you will ALWAYS 100% of the time end up in the home call center every time you call. I have entered in our account number, said "BUSINESS" very clearly, and every time I end up in the home queue and then someone asks me every single question I just answered on the automated system.
Pros
They have an amazing service tech named [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] who is the only one I ever call because he's the only one who gets things done. Phone service seems to work most of the time, just pray you never need tech support.
Cons
It's outrageously expensive in small markets, and they are often the only game in town so they can name their own price. We have small locations with 1-2 staff where we pay more for service than larger 30-40 people offices simply because they have cornered the market and there is no competition. They also often make you bundle to "save" buying services we never use.
Reasons for choosing CenturyLink
Only service available, whenever we can we are moving away from Clink.

Reasonable price
Overall, it is good enough to continue using it. Price is reasonable and I like it.
Pros
This software is widely used. I have been using it for more than 5 years. It is okay. I don't necessary love it.
Cons
I experience some connection issues time to time. I would like to be more stability with this software system.
