| CL to start capping seems come monday the 21st, Centurylink starts the caps.
according to what i've heard, 1.5mb and under is 100g a month
anything above 1.5 is 200g a month.
their prism service isn't bothered by this. and neither are business customers.
what i did hear and it doesn't make sense, not all centurylink areas have the metering abilities, but these areas are still subjected to the same thing. if they don't have metered abilities, then how can they subject these areas to the same rules? |

Re: CL to start capping don't know if the cap is true but i have noticed my 3-5 meg service has dropped to about 1.5 now, if this continues ill dump this as i am supposed to be getting at least 3. three diff sites show a 1.62 down as the top speed. I thought CL was going to be better then qwest. it appears that isn't the case. |

This was just confirmed by online tech support. They said the information would be on the century link website Monday after it takes effect. My Internet crashes here in mc when I try to stream anything. It is being called a widespread outage. I doubt it is a coincidence. |

I just talked with tech support, they hadn't heard of any such thing, but let me ask. I run a home business, can a residental address get business class service? I do video editing for a living... I honestly would need to be cap free if this happened. |

Yes you can get business class internet service at a residential address. |

| How does one do this? Just ask? Anybody got any pricing? |
|
| I'd really like to follow this topic about possible capping so if the topic is going to continue to deviate it might be best to start a new thread. This thread is about possible capping and not finding pricing for business circuits.
To answer your question, just call?

CenturyLink High-Speed Internet connects customers to the people, things and information important to them. Whether downloading music or photos, watching videos or TV shows online, e-mailing or any number of other activities, CenturyLink High-Speed Internet, is fast, reliable, and full of features to help customers navigate the Internet.
The majority of CenturyLink High-Speed Internet customers make great use of their high-speed service and comply with the CenturyLink High-Speed Internet Service Agreement. An extremely small percentage use CenturyLink High-Speed Internet excessively, or at such extreme high volumes, that they violate the terms of their CenturyLink High-Speed Internet Subscriber Agreement. While this high volume use is very rare, CenturyLink makes it a point to talk to these customers and help them find a high-speed Internet solution to better meet their needs.
Beginning November 21, 2011, the CenturyLink EUP policy will be updated to include the following "bulleted" changes:
Policy will now provide download usage "Limits" based on customer purchased HSI speed.
Customers purchasing service at speeds of 1.5Mbps and below, have a usage limit of 150 Gigabytes (GB) of download volume per month.
Customers purchasing service at speeds greater than 1.5Mbps, have a limit of250GB in download volume per month.
Policy applies to Residential HSI customers and is only enforced in the "downstream" (from internet to customer) direction.
Business Class lines are exempt from the download "limits" but will still be subject to EUP policy compliance and future updates.
Not all CenturyLink regions have metering capabilities but the EUP policy will be enforced as required manually for all CenturyLink regions.
All customers should have 30 calendar days between their notifications. The enforcement will be applied via a 3 stage process for compliance notifications/walled garden message to disconnection notice within 12 month period.
CenturyLink PRISM video traffic is not included in the limit
There are no overage charges or metering fees for usage as part of the Policy
Additional information will be posted on Centurylink.com this Monday.

| there's way too many open questions with this. but will have to wait and see if this is true. I checked the link, it reads under construction.
if this is true, they want to cap users. most rural area's can't get over 1.5 to start with from a lot of stuff i've read. what about all of the bandwidth exhausts? some area's seem to be in these since the start of the year. tsk tsk tsk |

Re: CL to start capping Lets use common sense here. A company would give notice before making changes like this. We would be given a chance to adjust our usage habits. If you do a google search this thread is the only place this is talked about. Maybe I'm wrong, but something doesn't seem right here. |

Crap! hope this isn't true. I just signed up with Centurylink.
I could have gotten a faster speed at a lower price with Comcast, but didn't do it because CL didn't have a cap and Comcast does.
I doubt I would go over a 250 gig cap the way I use things right now, but I hate having it hanging over my head.
Will be watching this closely. I might end up taking advantage of the 30 day money back guarantee. |
