As well as other advantages that make it one of the top choices in its service locations.
CenturyLink Internet is predominantly delivered via a hybrid network. It works by transferring data over fiber optic lines until it reaches a neighborhood’s distribution point where it switches to copper phone lines up to the subscriber’s location.

The service delivers up to 100 Mbps downloads, and offers fast speeds that suffice standard usage in a small to mid sized household.

You pay on a month-to-month basis, and there is no price hike after 12 months, as is the case with most promotional offers in the market. No contractual obligation implies if you wish to cancel the service for any reason at any time, you do not have to worry about a hefty early cancellation fee.
CenturyLink pro installation can cost you up to $125. CenturyLink will send in a professional to install the wiring and set the equipment up at your home. But, if you are tech savvy and wish to save on the upfront installation cost, CenturyLink allows you to self-install the setup for its high-speed Internet. The CenturyLink self install kit may cost you a nominal amount, around $15, in some service locations while it is totally free in others.

As is with most ISPs, CenturyLink speeds also vary with your location. And as far as choice of plans, that maybe be limited to a few at any given address. But depending on its network capacity in a vicinity, the provider endeavors to offer the fastest speed. According to the FCC, CenturyLink delivers 25 Mbps downloads across 70% of its nationwide speed footprint. In rural areas, where the provider has a significant presence, you may see the offered speeds are lower than the 25 Mbps FCC high-speed benchmark.
The 15 Mbps -20 Mbps speed tier with the Simply Unlimited Internet service plan is perfect for those that want to stay connected, but do not use internet excessively. The number of devices connected simultaneously maybe restricted with this plan. But you can download regular sized files, music, and videos smoothly. And also work from home or learn online. Everyday tasks such as shopping, and banking can be managed with ease too.
The 40 Mbps -100 Mbps speed tier with the Simply Unlimited Internet service plan is ideal for smaller to mid sized families with standard usage. Stay connected to the web, work from home, or attend online classes. Pay bills and shop online, or indulge in fun activities such as streaming video and playing online games.
Fiber is currently available in about 23% of CenturyLink’s nationwide footprint as per FCC. But where available, it pretty much steals the show. The CenturyLink Fiber Gigabit plan is suitable for bandwidth- hungry households where multiple users and devices must stay connected simultaneously. Competitive online gaming, 4K video streaming, Cloud backups, video conferencing - all bandwidth-extensive tasks find a great match with this CenturyLink plan.
With CenturyLink all set to expand the reach of its Fiber network, the residential consumer can look forward to a new range of Fiber-based services delivered over a fully digital platform. Even if at this point in time CenturyLink Fiber is not available at your address, the gap is filled in by a consistently-performing CenturyLink high-speed Internet connection. While there are some cities in states where there are many ISPs to fill that gap, just like Phoenix in Arizona, you will never get the same perks with the same price anywhere else!
