I don't have any issues with my CenturyTel connection, I get a full 10MB DSL on copper at all times of the day when I do speed tests and I've had the same speed in four different towns before...And check the ratings here on DSLR, seems better than most companies...
and you are located where?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22000035 Mon, 02 Mar 2009 09:19:42 EDT Re: CenturyHell http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21998532 kg4muc : Not exactly what I wanted to hear :)

Since the Embarq merger is going to happen and they will be my provider it doesn't look like smooth sailing anytime ahead but more like "Don't This Road Look Rough And Rocky" !

With the cable people implementing small caps updating my weather web site and sending data probably won't be able to happen with cable either! Talk about a rock and a hard place!

They will not ever be a major company. They need to be acquired. Plain and simple.
Before the Embarq acquisition, they were the 6th largest telco in the US. Embarq was the 4th largest, so that should put it into perspective for you thinking they aren't a "major" company.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21969403 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:34:01 EDT Re: CenturyHell http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21969321 atuarre : Yes they are. They service small areas in this state, and everyone I know that has them complains. They will not ever be a major company. They need to be acquired.

This must be the worst DSL provider on the face of the earth. In our area they provide a whopping 1.5/256 DSL and even that is WAY oversubscribed. I tried them for a year and they where terrible. The phone techs where clueless and the local phone techs that came to practice their act of troubleshooting where absolutely useless. I was their worst nightmare customer. I owned my own DSL modem, and actually know what I am talking about. I am sure they where happy to see me go to Comcast. Don't laugh now, that was my only other choice. ;-)
Sorry to hear that. I've complained about Centurytel several times on these boards. They are just as bad in WI and DSL is even slower than that.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21968082 Tue, 24 Feb 2009 12:02:02 EDT CenturyHell http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21967703 AlexNYC : This must be the worst DSL provider on the face of the earth.
