    Pros:
    Although I am switching away from CenturyLink service, I like that you can manage your account, upgrade your service, or pay your bill easily from your phone.
    Cons:
    I absolutely dislike how hard it was for me to cancel my service. They made it nearly impossible to do.

    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.

    What I liked most about century link Is nothing. I don't like anything about century link.
    Cons:
    What I liked least about century link is that they will continue to charge you, keeping your account open, and refuse to allow you to close it but yet restrict your access to their data servers, and rack up your bill to over $800 all without allowing you to access their internet, and after you told them to close the account and shut the service off.
