If you can’t get fiber internet, DSL doesn’t suck. Just keep a few things in mind:
CenturyLink has no active deals or promotions at the time of this writing.
It’s unfortunate that CenturyLink doesn’t currently offer satellite TV service. Especially since TV is infinitely more desirable than home phone service. But CenturyLink’s internet-and-phone bundles still save you 22–32% monthly.
So what have we learned by studying CenturyLink’s bundles? You’ll save big bucks—just not on the services you want the most.
You can pay for DIRECTV along with your CenturyLink internet bill, but you won’t get any discounts for combining internet and TV services.
CenturyLink does not bundle with DISH Network.
CenturyLink discontinued its fiber-optic Prism TV service in 2018.
As with any internet service provider, CenturyLink’s internet speeds can vary quite a bit based on location and other factors (wired/wireless connection, modem type, router type, router location, materials used to build your home).
Your neighbor could qualify for up to 940 Mbps fiber internet, while you might get only up to 20 Mbps via DSL. The “Up to” means that CenturyLink doesn’t guarantee you’ll get 20 Mbps (or 940 Mbps, for that matter), due to the factors mentioned above.
So, if you’re getting only 5–12 Mbps on a 20 Mbps plan, CenturyLink wouldn’t consider that a problem.
Yes, you can totally stream TV with CenturyLink internet! Want to see how much streaming you can do with each plan?
CenturyLink does have a data cap—but it’s 1 TB (which is a lot of data). Even if you exceed that, you don’t have to worry because CenturyLink doesn’t charge overage fees.
