11 years as a CL customer. Still maxed out at 3.5mbps down.
Recently I came across a tech who impressed me with his experience and knowledge. He said that I could get bonded 8 Mbps where I'm at (which happens to be 14,000' (cable feet) from the......CoLo? dSLAM? It would just take a modem that supported bonding.
So, I called CL to request this. And, you know where this is going; "Heather", with her thick South American accent, didn't know what bonded service is. Nobody at her team could make this happen on my account. My account must say "HE GETS 4mbps SERVICE FOREVER!!"
So to my question: can I just purchase a CL modem that supports bonding and wire it correctly? Or does some switch need to be thrown somewhere that turns on super speed to my house?
Thanks for any insight!!

To get bonded service, does CL need to do anything on their end?

Centurylink Packetloss to Blizzard games/servers
So i've been trying to get this figured out for a couple months, Anything Blizzard or Bnet related has bad packetloss, Sometimes it's 0% but can spike up to 35-40% packetloss which is pretty crazy.
I've contacted CL Support many many times and just get told it's something different each time or there's no issue on their end. Ran Blizzard's "Lookingglass" and talked to blizzard support and they told me it's a routing issue between Centurylink and Their US West Servers.
Also note, That i was originally told that my issue was caused by them overselling the node where i live (Southern Oregon) and would be fixed on July 31st and yet the issue persists.
This is the Lookingglass txt results. Below this i have my "Pathping" results as well.
All tests were done to 24.105.30.129 (Blizzard's US West IP)

Fiber To Our Neighborhood
CenturyLink- Are there any plans to run fiber to our neighborhood (Sierra Vista/Linda's Lane off of Highway 116, 76528)? A lot of retired city folks and retired military miss their "fast" internet according to a CL tech that came out to our house to make a repair. Thanks

Bypassing C2000T Gigabit with Prism
Is there a good way to bypass or at least partly bridge the C2000T modem I got with my gigabit internet to my R7000 Nighthawk? The one caveat here is I also have prism tv and I'm running in IPoE mode according to the router settings.
I tried enabling transparent bridging 201 and enabled vlan tagging on my router and changed the id to 201 but the router appears to have failed trying to acquire an ip address.
Thoughts?

[CenturyTel] Pending pending pending re-install in Mansfield OH area
Friend's sister had promised 10Mb service that delivered ~4.
She got some CenTel offer to move to 25 w/Direct TV streaming.
She accepted, and a contractor installed buried 3-pair, cutting down the existing functional aerial.
And that was days ago. Repeated phone calls get vague promises but no results. Meanwhile no service.
Suggestions?

Good news. You qualify for Internet speeds up to 1 Gbps!
I was looking around in my CL account page and saw that message. It's funny because I can't even get the 10Mbps I'm paying for. Has anyone else seen this on their accounts?

[CenturyTel] CenturyLink using DHCP C1100Z modem- Capacity exhaust issue
Couple of items here. First off it looks like CL is using DHCP but when I try to put the modem into bridge mode I can never get the DHCP address on my network equipment, so I have put in a work around for that. Has anyone else noticed the DHCP versus the PPPoE protocol.
I live in an area Spring Hill, KS where there is a capacity exhaust issue and CL has had a ticket opened up for this issue for well over 160 days, there are at least 99 customers affected by this and unfortunately when I call in and try to get some information on this I get the big run around. If I had another option out there I would go with it but I don't. I'd like to see these guys fix the issue and give us all more bandwidth, as 6Mbps is not HIGH Speed nor what I would consider broadband. Are other folks out there hitting this capacity exhaust issues?

My internet wasn't being very reliable last night. In fact, it went out 6 times last night. The DSL and Internet lights (on 192.168.0.1) turn red, and it reconnects, only to turn red and leave me with no internet for several minutes again. Here is the information:

Question about my Line mode.
I've been having issues with my line. It's a long story that I can get into if anyone is interested.
My question now though is that I have techs telling, and a field supervisor tech telling me I am on ADSL2+. My modem is telling me I am on G.DMT. MDMSTATS is telling me G.DMT Annex A.
I have an email from the field supervision showing me I am on IPDATA: ADSL2+.
What is going on?
Until I had my modem replaced with the exact same modem(c1100z) I was on ADSL2+(according to modem page) with SNR of 9, and Attenuation of 36. I would sync at 7, and sometimes up to 9. but I was solid at 7. Now I'm at 5, with SNR that fluctuates between 18.4-20.4, and a Attenuation of 38. My internet feels off too at times, like webpages load slowly randomly, it's not at a certain time or anything. I don't get many CRC errors, but I average about 300-600k FEC errors a day.

Team Fishel installing fiber for CenturyLink in Phoenix?
Once again there are Team Fishel crews on my street. In the past, Team Fishel did work for Cox. When they were on our street two months ago my brother asked who they were working for and he was told CenturyLink. I made some calls to try and find out what exactly was being done. The CSR's I spoke to said there was nothing in the system. My brother went out and talked to one of them last saturday (6/18/2017) and was told they were installing fiber for CL and the work will be completed within the week. Anyone have a number to call to find out what is being done. I tried calling today and was rerouted several times and then was disconnected.

[CenturyTel] Disturbed Telephone Underground Wire by builder
Hello,
I live on 5002 Howellsville Rd Front Royal, VA 22630. Phone 703-447-1014 Cell - Landline with centurylink is 540-636-0746. So recently a builder decided to disturb the telephone pole servicing my home to build their home in the adjacent lot # 29 tax map 15H 2 29 warren county, va. This builder has disturbed the telephone pedalstool and wire that is buried going to my home. I need someone to come take a look at it and move the wire. I would prefer a new wire from the pedalstool ran to my home because they basically backhoed this trench to provide power to their house and im sure the wire is now in bad shape not to mention that its crossing high voltage transformer power lines which will definately cause harmonic distortion and degraded internet service. Can someone please address this? Century link is going to have to drop a telephone wire underground anyway to service this new home being built so why not do it same time you run their cable? See attached photos. I am also contacting comcast for the same problem

Modem Statistics (MdmStats)
Modem Statistics (MdmStats) has been updated. The newest version can be found at:
http://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,19180.msg340600.html#msg340600
You must be logged into forum.kitz.co.uk to see and download MdmStats.zip
MdmStats is a program to monitor and display statistics available from CenturyLink ADSL/VDSL compatible modems (single line and bonded pair). Statistics include downstream and upstream Data Rate, SNR, Attenuation, Power, FEC Errors, and CRC Errors. These statistics are sampled at 3-second intervals and logged to a file (MdmStats.dat for single line modems and MdmStats1.dat/MdmStats2.dat for bonded pair modems). These statistics can then be displayed over selectable periods of time and duration in graphical form with MdmGraph. MdmStats creates an icon in the Windows taskbar system tray/notification area. Hovering the mouse pointer over this icon displays current SNR, FEC, and CRC values. Left double-clicking this icon alternately displays and hides the MdmStats program window. Right-clicking this icon gives access to all MdmStats features. Closing the MdmStats window hides the program window. To terminate MdmStats, use File -> Exit.
MdmStats Main Menu options:

Before using MdmStats, the modem must have its Telnet interface enabled. Using a web browser, log into the modem and go to Advanced Setup -> Remote Console, select Telnet Enabled, and set the Telnet Password. Then configure MdmStats at Edit -> Options. To have MdmStats run automatically when Windows is booted, create a shortcut to MdmStats.exe in the Startup folder of the Windows Start menu.
MdmGraph is a program to graphically display the data files produced by MdmStats. MdmGraph displays SNR levels horizontally while FEC and CRC errors are displayed vertically. Average SNR values and FEC/CRC error totals are displayed at the top of the graph along with a legend. Times and dates are displayed at the bottom of the graph. The upper scrollbar controls the duration of the data displayed while the lower scrollbar controls the specific interval. The display is auto-scaling and the window is resizeable. View options allow displaying/masking the various modem statistics.

CenturyLink Portland 1gb Install - 1mb Download Speed :(
Signed up for 1gb for simple pricing for $85.
**Thursday**
Installer shows up at 2.30 for a 9-12.30 appointment. Runs fiber and long cat5 cable to get the router where I want. First speed test 90mb down. Cat5 cable he created is defective. Connect directly 200mb down 700 up. Real world download performance (usenet / azure file test/ downloading firefox) struggles to get over 1mb down. Oddly streaming youtube works fine. Swaps routers. No change
4 hours on the phone, no resolution. I ask him to leave and arrange another tech who comes saturday.
** Saturday**
Tech shows up and states previous installer... oy vey did he do a bad job. Tech is better than previous, confirms slow DL. Hour or so on hold no resolution. Examining wire notices pinch point. Requests they re-drop fiber and have another tech come sunday.
** Sunday**
Fiber installer comes by. Starts to do install, I ask to test the fiber before replacing to confirm that's actually the problem. He does that, fiber looks dirty. Replaces fiber. Tech comes later that afternoon, this time super nice guy from CenturyLink.. he is not a contractor. He installs the line, does a bunch of test on the line to confirm levels are ok. Do speed test. ~400/700 real world same struggling to get a download over 1mb. States he will need to have other folks look at it and call.
** Today**
Receive call, they are escalating to tier 3 and will be coming by to "sweep fiber" on the pole and possibly farther down the line.
**Additional Info**
Saw similar problems on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/Portland/comments/6osmdr/slow_internet_for_centurylink/
Friend in my neighborhood performs similar tests 900/900 and also downloads the azure test in 6 seconds.
Azure test: azurespeed.com/Azure/Download
** My Editorial
I really want this to work, no cap and cheaper than comcast. I am giving them a few more days as they are working on it and are communicating well with me. Overall the contractors were not great, once I got an actual centurylink tech, he seemed to be knowledgeable. Will see if they can fix it.

CRC Error Buildup
Hi,
I've connected my modem directly to my NID. When connected in the house, I got a ridiculous amount of CRC errors (15,000 per 30 minutes to 10 per 30 minutes). Since connected to the NID (a little over 24 hours) it's reduced dramatically, but I've racked up about 8,000. It wasn't all at once. Sometimes it would have 2 in 30 minutes, sometimes 500. I have a technician come out in 2 days. What can I ask him to do to fix the problem? I've had techs come that always failed to find a problem. Or perhaps this amount of CRC errors is okay? I'd rather have 0, it would make me feel much better.
I'm thinking of asking him to test the line, replace the NID and replace my port at the DSLAM. Does that sound necessary? Does that sound ridiculous?

Centurylink upgrade notification via pop-up? (Phoenix)
I didn't notice this till I got to work, but apparently this morning when on my phone at home I accidentally opened safari and doing it's normal thing of trying to reload/refresh the last page I was on it apparently loaded a message page from Centurylink instead. Sorta like how when you join some public wifi's and instead of loading the page you want it loads a confirmation page, but this was from Centurylink.
It stated an upgrade to my neighborhood is planned for August 22nd and that I need to call them to verify that my modem is compatible. It said if it wasn't they would send me a new modem for free but if it wasn't and I didn't verify with them my service wouldn't work shortly after the upgrade. This message window also had my CL account number on it, the full thing so it seems legit, just a weird way to notify me. It also said if I didn't do anything I'd get another message like this around August 12th again.
So did anyone else get this message? Could this be an upgrade to gigabit? I'm in north phx, north of Happy Valley Rd. I'm like 3 houses away from canal then open desert, aka the very north edge of town.

[Qwest] Modem questions
I live in a Qwest market and have a ZyXel C1100Z modem. Currently I am provisioned for a gig and am wondering why the modem would be using around 50% of the sdram while idled. Can this cause any issues if it exceeds a certain threshold (packet loss, slow speeds, etc). I haven't been able to find much information about what the sdram does on modems (my assumption is similar to the function of ram on my desktop computer), but it appears this modem has 128MB of it.
Thanks!

I cant even get a internet upgrade quote, without TV upsell.
I received a notification the internet in my area was upgraded. I called after the upgrade to see what new speeds were available. The guy started asking about what kind of tv i watch.... i said I was not interested in tv. I told him I want a quote for internet only. He starts to give me quote, but then starts talking about tv again. I say I am not interested in tv, I want an internet quote, and told him if you mention tv one more time I will hang up ............. consequently I hung up.
Centurylink, You have been charging me high rates for years for sub-standard ( compared to cox) internet speeds, on ancient technology. Now that you upgrade your hardware, I can't even get get a proper quote, or upgrade because your customer service reps want to sell tv.

100 mbps for $55
80 mbps for $45
40 mbps for $45
20 mbps for $45
The 80mbps is now offered in most areas of phoenix which looks unbeatable
