| And this is typical Greedy companies who take over tends to do this. Isn't it illegal to do that without notice? It is because they want to recover what they spent buying qworst. It is not right to disconnect a phone service without notice...

| | | The article says that notices were sent. Unless they personally send people out to actually track down each person and talk to them personally, you can't gaurantee that they have received a notice, only that you send one out. Given the state of the mail system, and the state of people actually bothering to read mail, I am not surprised.
Not that dropping the VOIP isn't a stupid thing to do, nobody is going to accept going from VOIP to POTs with all the taxes and fees that come from the POTs line. | |

I am sure he got a notice - but he probably didn't notice it. (pun intended). Most customer notices come with the monthly bill and are often printed on the back where most won't even see it. That certainly isn't the way they should do it, but it is SOP.

| | | It wasn't that great anyway. I kept getting dropped calls, device wouldn't register or when it did, it would stay registered. I ended up switching and the service from my new provider is awesome. I don't have as much control of my service through a portal, but for the price and quality I am very happy. Here is the providers website if anyone is interested, I got ported in 8 days...

| | Was gonna switch from mediacrap to centurylink Former qworst. And now I dont know if it's worth anymore since they seem to screw assets they buy. I know at least qworst had some good reputation. | |
|
| | Moving into the past. You have to hand to CenturyLink; they truly are living up to their name and providing century old technology at tomorrow’s prices.
I can only imagine what's next, the return of the telegraph, "one button does it all".  | |

| | | Re: Going to ooma I can't see how POTS is costing you $50.
A POTS line costs slightly over $13 before taxes and fees. I am pretty sure that you are using one of the premium phone services instead. | |

| | | kiknwing, quit whining, you were over paying before too so look elsewhere! There are a lot of VoIP providers. I signed up with Sipgate last summer, paid them $20 to start and I still have $14 credit! | |
|
| | | | Re: Going to ooma ArizonaSteve, Pot calling the kettle black. I complain about phone while you whine when you internet goes out or a slight decrease in speed.
As for the $50, 30 for unlimited local and long distance + 20 in taxes you get $50. | |

Lincolnshire, IL | Wow, totally lame and after the SunRocket debacle..... I thought the industry learned they couldn't just go dark without massive notification efforts and a loooong transition period.
CenturyLink didn't do either and to add further insult, they appear to have set a January 31st end date, only to move it up a week. There really is no excuse for this.

| | Really? I never heard of Qwest having VoIP service. Why would they, they are the phone company! If someone wants VoIP they can always still get it from someone else so what's the problem? | |

USA | Re: Really? They have VoIP service, and it's terrible. I have a client with them and while the quality is fine because it's delivered over a T1, the ability to manage it and talk with someone with a clue is non-existent. The story goes on for a long time so I'll just say it's terrible.

| another great example of a company that fails to understand the importance of being considerate to your current customers.
Somewhere, deep in the bowels of CenturyLink/Qwest, somebody fell asleep at the switch. They failed to plan, which means that they planned to fail. | |

| Its just voip so what Even if Voip's call quality is superior to that of cellphone's umts,
its impracticall for a small incument to provide this service that is almost non used at all. Today everybody subscribes to wireless+internet+ maybe basic cable/satellite with few premium channels. No one needs landline/extra phone number, unless he works in home office. | |

| | Termination of VOIP Services - Hello, everyone...
We are sorry for frustration any of you have had over the termination of our VOIP services. We began informing our customers of these changes as of 11/14/11 via direct mail, bill messaging, outbound voice messaging and to customer provided email addresses; we have made every effort possible to insure we communicated this service termination. That said, as we also monitor DSL Reports and came across this thread we wanted to reach out to you directly to provide assistance for anyone who needs it. Email us at TalkToUs@CenturyLink.com and we'd be happy to help.
Thank you.
-Doug
