CenturyLink Internet Plans, Features, and Benefits<\/h1>\n

According to IBISWorld, there are\u00a013,126 Internet Service Providers (ISPs)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That makes your job of finding the right ISP difficult, to say the least. The Hours spent comparing prices, download speeds, and reviews are mind-numbing. Even after trudging through all those facts and figures, how can you be sure you’ve chosen the right one?<\/p>\n

The simple answer is, you can’t.<\/p>\n

Fortunately for you, there’s CenturyLink.<\/p>\n

CenturyLink’s internet plans are simple.<\/p>\n

Read on to learn more about how CenturyLink can make your internet experience the best it can be.<\/p>\n

Competitive CenturyLink Internet Plan Pricing<\/h2>\n

CenturyLink has four High-Speed Internet Plans with our Price for Life, you can’t go wrong with CenturyLink.<\/p>\n

The 20 Mbps, 40, Mpbs, 100 Mbps and Fiber Gigabit plans have monthly costs that vary by location.<\/p>\n

The 100 Mbps plan is ideal for streaming movies.<\/p>\n

Please note that top internet speeds may not be possible in all service areas.<\/p>\n

Lease Our Equipment or Bring Your Own<\/h2>\n

When you use CenturyLink, we give you a choice.<\/p>\n

You can lease a modem through us for or bring your own. Leasing one from us makes it easy to access your Internet Services immediately. Buying your own lets you choose the equipment you use.<\/p>\n

Here’s a\u00a0list of modems<\/a>\u00a0that are compatible with our services to make your selection easier.<\/p>\n

Professional installation is available at no additional charge!<\/p>\n

State of the Art Connections<\/h2>\n

Centurylink uses fiber optic cable connections for our connectivity and entertainment services. We also have DSL connections for certain services.<\/p>\n

Fiber optic connections come in three forms:<\/p>\n

Fiber to the Node (FTTN)<\/strong>\u00a0uses a common network box that provides data services, like broadband to many locations at once. It’s also called Fiber to the neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Fiber to the Curb (FTTC)<\/strong>\u00a0uses existing cabling for a short distance, i.e., from the curb to your home. You can save money installing Fiber Optic cables in this way because coaxial cables can support high speeds for short distances.<\/p>\n

Fiber to the Home (FTTH)<\/strong>\u00a0uses fiber optic cabling until it reaches the boundary of your home or office. After that, coaxial cables convey the signal throughout the space.<\/p>\n

Our Services Use IPv6<\/h2>\n

IPv6 is\u00a0a protocol used by computers to locate one another across the internet.<\/p>\n

It’s predecessor, IPv4, is being phased out because it’s running out of internet addresses.<\/p>\n

It’s a sad fact that many companies are waiting until the last minute to adopt IPv6.\u00a0At present,\u00a0just over 25% of networks<\/a>\u00a0advertise using IPv6 connectivity and we’re one of them.<\/p>\n

No Throttling of Popular Services<\/h2>\n

Throttling occurs when your ISP intentionally slows down your service.\u00a0This has become a commonplace practice when visiting\u00a0popular streaming services like Netflix and YouTube.<\/p>\n

CenturyLink never throttles or blocks your internet for accessing specific sites. We don’t believe in penalizing you\u00a0for using your favorite\u00a0programs, applications, and websites.<\/p>\n

You also won’t\u00a0have data caps when you sign up for one of our Fiber Optic plans.<\/p>\n

Free Email Accounts<\/h2>\n

All customers who sign up for CenturyLink services get up to 11 free email accounts. Each account is CenturyLink branded and ideal for both personal and professional use.<\/p>\n

Open Ports (Mostly)<\/h2>\n

Ports are virtual gateways<\/a>\u00a0that let data in and out of networks and computers. Each port gets assigned a certain type of data so your computer knows what to do with it.<\/p>\n

Many ISPs block random ports so you can’t use them. CenturyLink only blocks ports hackers exploit on a frequent basis. Doing so helps you stay secure while giving you the freedom to customize your network as you see fit.<\/p>\n

Service Bundles<\/h2>\n

Our Service bundles combine your internet, Direct TV or phone services. This allows easier management of your monthly bills giving you only one to pay instead of three.<\/p>\n

DirectTV<\/h3>\n

When you sign up for our Direct TV Service Bundle you may gain access to these features!<\/p>\n
