Quick Verdict

CenturyLink is one of the few internet providers that offers a genuine Price for Life guarantee — your monthly rate never increases as long as you keep the service. It’s a strong pick for budget-conscious households who want long-term price predictability without signing a contract. Speeds vary significantly by location — fiber customers get up to 940 Mbps while DSL customers in rural areas may see much lower speeds. Always check what technology is available at your specific address before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about CenturyLink

CenturyLink is available in 16 states primarily in the Western, Midwestern, and Southern US. Coverage is strongest in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Minnesota, and Washington. Enter your zip code above or call us at (888) 224-5870 and we’ll check your exact address and confirm whether fiber or DSL is available at your location.

CenturyLink’s Price for Life guarantee means your monthly internet rate will never increase as long as you keep your plan and remain in good standing. This applies to the base monthly rate and is one of the strongest price guarantees in the industry. Unlike promotional pricing that expires after 12 months CenturyLink’s rate is locked permanently. Taxes and fees are not included in the Price for Life guarantee.

CenturyLink fiber delivers internet through a fiber optic cable connected directly to your home offering speeds up to 940 Mbps with low latency and consistent performance. DSL uses existing copper phone lines and is slower — typically 15-100 Mbps — with higher latency. Fiber is significantly better for streaming, gaming, and working from home. If fiber is available at your address always choose fiber over DSL.

No. CenturyLink does not enforce monthly data caps on any of its internet plans. You can stream, download, game, and video conference as much as you want without worrying about overage fees or hitting a monthly limit.

No. CenturyLink internet plans have no annual contract and no early termination fees. You can cancel at any time without penalty. The Price for Life rate guarantee applies without requiring you to sign a long-term contract.

CenturyLink’s biggest advantage over both Spectrum and Frontier is the Price for Life guarantee — your rate never increases which provides unmatched long-term price predictability. Frontier offers faster fiber speeds starting at lower prices but does not have a permanent price lock. Spectrum offers cable internet with no data caps and no contracts but prices increase after the promotional period. For customers who prioritize long-term price stability over maximum speed CenturyLink is the strongest choice.

CenturyLink DSL plans require a compatible modem. You can rent one from CenturyLink or purchase your own compatible device. CenturyLink fiber installations require a fiber ONT terminal installed by a technician plus a compatible router. CenturyLink offers whole home WiFi as an add-on for customers needing extended coverage throughout larger homes.

CenturyLink does not offer its own TV service. We recommend pairing CenturyLink internet with a streaming service like YouTube TV or DirecTV Stream. Call us at (888) 224-5870 for current streaming bundle recommendations that work well with CenturyLink internet.
