Describe the project or task CenturyLink for Business helped with:

They were supposed to help me with a really slow internet speed. I was being turned down for remote work-from-home positions because the internet speed was not high in the least bit. Customer service could have been much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CenturyLink for Business?

When the technician did finally get here, he did an excellent job at fixing my internet speed. It seems some of the wires in the phone jack were not hooked up at all. He was prompt and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CenturyLink for Business?

The online customer support chat. They tell you they set up an appointment for you, you wait around all day for no one to show up. Then when called they claim an appointment was never set up, and then the other chat support you receive is an agent telling you what you want to hear to get you off the chat and sometimes cutting you off completely.

What problems is CenturyLink for Business solving and how is that benefiting you?

The claim to have set you up an appointment and then don't. The chat support agents don't let you finish; they cut you off. I guess it's easy to do because it is chat support. The service could have been better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task CenturyLink for Business helped with:

It caused me to lose money bc I was unable to conduct business with no internet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about CenturyLink for Business?

Nothing, worst customer service ever and the internet was always going out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CenturyLink for Business?

Their customer service. Not helpful, never do what they say they will. I had the worst experience from start to end of my contract.

It started with them setting up my autopay over the phone when setting up my account, then turns out it wasn’t set up and I was charged all these fees and then had to be on the phone forever trying to fix it.

And then the internet never worked!! How can I run a business with no internet? Again, very little help and it was difficult to get a hold of anyone to fix this. They often didn’t show up on the days they said they would, which left us waiting at our business for no reason when we could be home with family.

And then when my contract was finally up, I called to disconnect. And now months later they keep billing me and telling me I never disconnected. So again, even when I thought I was rid of Century Link, they keep billing me!!!

Do not work them, especially if you are a small business where money is already tight due to COVID Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CenturyLink for Business:

Don’t do it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CenturyLink for Business solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nothing, confusing and misleading Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
