      Lost service for 2 weeks due to the fact they couldn't get a service tech here to fix internet. Canceled my service and went with a new provider. I canceled on the 1st of the month, they charged me another month and said I canceled on the 2nd of the month, so they could bill me another month. Plus I was never reimbursed for the 2 weeks without service. I wouldn't recommend using them for any type of service.

      My phone is down since June 24. I have contacted the customer service almost everyday since to have a tech coming to fix the problem and receive numerous ( more than a dozen times) date/time for service appointment with nobody bothering to show up. The customer service is in fact some kind of a pacifier for noisy toddler: the appointment scheduling, the confirmation message and the cell phone reminding the morning before the appointment are computer-generated without any connection to a real job ticket. As a test, I booked once by email an appointment a day at *****pm for the next morning when it was not possible to have a tech available and received confirmation message and voice mail confirming the visit - And nobody came as expected. Also checking online the activity associated with the received ticket often returns a "invalid number" or "No job related to this ticket" result!. This customer service is a bad joke played on the customer with a total contempt for their time.

      My father is 89 years old and has given up calling Centurylink so I called set up an appointment and the technician told me that he wasnt able to fix the problem and he had to have another technician come out, I was told it would be fixed by the next day. Well it wasnt so I called back and waited again on the automated system. The first phone *** tried to help but I wanted a supervisor, the supervisor told me the exact thing I needed to reschedule , I got upset and told him this is not good customer service . I Had drove 120 miles 1 way to be there for them and they didnt do the job., and the day they wanted to reschedule for we had doctors appointment, it is hard for my dad to get around and he get nervous when someone comes to his house he doesnt know, that is why I drive from ****** to *******. Anyway all of the people I have spoken to have been friendly but they all say the same thing, I cant help you. What kind of business is so uncaring they cant help the elderly ( that need a phone) thank you for letting me vent

      Terrible customer service!!! It takes forever to get customer service on the phone. There is no way a corporation this big should take ***** for customer service to take your call- then its ***** more minutes to get your issue resolved! We changed our service to another provider- saving a lot of money (about 80%)- since Century Link seems to have a small monopoly on landline service!

      For over 15 years my land line with CenturyLink has had static, background noise or has totally not worked. There is no local office to be able to talk to a person. Their toll free number tells you to go to their website then you get to have a conversation with probably a bot. How are they allowed to continue to do business since they provide less than average service with a service that is so vital to either connecting to the internet or 911 in,case of an,emergency?

      ZERO over all experience. For the last three weeks Ive been on CHAT with customer service HOURS at a time. TWO on the phone. I have gotten so much discrepant information from everyone Ive chatted with. Ive been promised, Im not lying to you, the third or fourth representative said. I promise this will resolve your problems. So much for that. Internet providers only bring the internet into your house. The speed coming in is whats promised, but what youre supposed to get is different inside. Thats ALL of the providers. So if I turn my back in the doorway, facing (but not actually outside), the signal is terrible. ***? Im still IN the house- pages should load at a decent speed. ****. THE VERY WORST THING about Quantum is their CUSTOMER SERVICE!! Ive never had such horrible customer service with ANY services. Not only is outsourcing an ongoing problem with businesses, in this case I received conflicting information from EVERY technician. The word technician doesnt even apply here. Ive been on chats for two hours twice, 2 hours on the phone, and quick chats other times. Every time I had to contact them, I was given not only FALSE information by EACH one- the worst part was NOT BEING ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THEM. After the two hours the phone, I was practically SCREAMING for a supervisor- there arent any available (in existence?), and Im told that they have the same information. I ask to be transferred to the **, and Im told theres no way to do that. Both ***** and ******* could do it. I was excited for fiber, which is supposed to be better than copper connections, but Ive been an inch away from canceling. After weeks of poor service, it went out completely today. My iPad didnt even show my SSID. This occurred AFTER the last technician ON the phone with for two hours fixed it. Maybe because I was so irritated and frustrated that my husband thought itd have an heart attack!? STAY AWAY. If you ever need help- forget it. SUBSCRIBER BEWARE!!!

      If I could give zero stars, I would. I canceled my service with CenturyLink over two years ago and switched to another provider. Despite that, they continued charging my bank account without authorization. When I discovered the ongoing charges, I immediately stopped payments and called again to cancelfor the second time.Shockingly, the company later sent me a bill for over $1,300. When I contacted them to dispute it, no one seemed to care or even listen. The lack of accountability and customer service was astounding.Ive since encouraged my family, friends, and colleagues to cancel their service with this company, and I will continue to share my experience with anyone considering CenturyLink. Where is the government when consumers are being taken advantage of like this? Its unacceptable that a company can operate this way uncheckedsomeone needs to hold them accountable.

      They didnt show up for service call. Support chat would have been better if they didnt answer either. I just canceled my service to not have to deal with them anymore

      This company doesnt even deserve ONE star. Since using their so-called internet service I havent even had any internet. Multiple times a day I have to unplug and reset my modem and every week I have to contact them multiple times bc it still doesnt work. They always tell me theres no problem and offer ZERO solutions to fix it. They have not offered to reimburse me at all for all the money Ive paid for service Im not receiving. This is THEFT plain and simple. DO NOT use this company whatsoever. And btw amidst all this they actually raised my monthly price and still have not provided me internet!!! If I could afford to switch to another provider I would but they wont reimburse me so I cant afford to ?????? What theyre doing is criminal!!!
