I was one of the unfortunate 1.5mbps users. It was unusable. I made it on an unlimited Verizon aircard for about a year. Then they ran new fiber to my area and offered me 40/5. They ran a whole new drop to my house which is around 1200’ for free.
During this time I did have some trouble with YouTube staying low def. I found that if I switched my DNS google servers it helped and later to 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 the problem went away completely. I had service for around 44$ a month.
Recently my promotions dropped. I called and asked they be put back on. They offered me their pricing for life 40/5 for 55$. I took the deal. I called the local store and asked about their bonding service. Turns out the 55$ price window covers all speeds from 40-80mbps. I requested their bonding service. They came out today and I’m happy to report I’m getting 83/10. I am getting that for the same 55$ price and had to pay for the 60$ tech fee. No big deal! I was fortunate and had a modem that was bonding ready.
Anyways, I know there is a lot of hate on this forum about Centurylink and I used to be one of them, but I am impressed with the improvements they have made over the last year and a half.
