I read a press release that stated that users who wish to get the Centurylink price for life must lease or purchase the modem for $150 in order to qualify. http://www.telecompetitor.com/centurylink-price-for-life-locks-in-broadband-rates/
I am looking to BYOD and don't want to pay the $150 or lose the price lock.
PREPAID Price For Life High Speed Internet Service: Service and offer are not available everywhere. Offer is only available through on-line sign-up at centurylink.com/simplepay. Limited time offer. Rate is available to new, qualifying residential customers who reside in qualifying locations. CenturyLink provided modem may be required for High Speed Internet; lease ($10/mo. fee) or a one-time purchase (up to $150) option available (S&H applies for overnight delivery, if requested).
Reading the terms it isn't really clear. "modem may be required" is a given as I don't know of a way of getting DSL without a modem. There is no mention of BYOD.
Also:
Customer must remain in good standing and offer terminates if customer changes their account in any manner, including change of address (even if plan is available), change to service, and service suspension (Vacation Program) or disconnection.
"changes their account in any manner"
My understand with this is that you change your incorrectly spelled name, you lose your lock, change your email address, lose the lock, change payment card or update it, lose the lock. Also, if you start with modem leasing then turn it in and bring your own, then it looks like you lose the lock also. I don't know where the non lock pricing can be found once you lose the lock.
Does anyone have an experience with BYOD and CenturyLink?
