About CenturyLink Services
CenturyLink ranks among the top 5 internet service providers in the US, and delivers DSL and fiber optic internet in 35+ states for both residential and commercial consumption. The CenturyLink footprint is especially impressive in Arizona, Washington and Colorado.
The CenturyLink Networks: DSL & Fiber
CenturyLink DSL network provides connections powered by “Fiber to the Loop”. Meaning data travels over a fiber optic line until it reaches the distribution point in any given neighbourhood, from where it hops over onto the copper phone lines that run into each subscriber location. By putting a smart mix of DSL technologies to use, and developing hybrid networking arrangements, CenturyLink is able to provide speeds much higher than traditional DSL.
CenturyLink Fiber Optic network is limited to select regions at this time. But, the provider wants to help people maximize the benefits of a digital lifestyle. And, aims to empower more and more Americans through smart deployment of innovative technology. So, it continues to expand its capacity to provide fiber internet in that spirit.
CenturyLink Looks Ahead: Quantum Fiber
While CenturyLink is still the brand name under which the company markets its residential services, in 2020 CenturyLink rebranded as Lumen Technologies. Lumen’s extensive fiber optic network infrastructure is now all set to power a new range of fiber-based products using a fully digital platform under the label―Quantum Fiber―for homes and small businesses.
CenturyLink―Serving the Underserved!
CenturyLink’s availability in rural America is its primary strength―the provider makes good use of pre-existing telephone networks to deliver DSL internet in regions where the only wired network is that of copper phone lines, or else you must go “broke” paying for the pricey satellite internet.
Even suburban homes prefer CenturyLink services over available cable broadband providers due to the overall value of the subscription―which is rooted in the high-end CenturyLink equipment, average speed delivered, and the reliability of its network in particular.
