CenturyLink has gone so far as to tell customers who cancel their DSL service that they will not be able to start it up again, Brems said.

That seems awfully abusive.




The costumer doesn't want them because the service constantly fails and they don't want the customer because he constantly complains. What's abusive about that? A perfectly healthy non-relation. The only abusive thing would be gov. getting in the way of it and forcing them to accept the customers or the costumers to accept the ISP.


CenturyLink sucks in general. Poor service and poorer customer service. That company is a joke. Seems their whole purpose is to drive people with wired phone service to other companies using wireless.


I don't think they're trying to be abusive on purpose. It seems like they're running out of capacity and desire to serve the island.


All the more reason to pull the rug out from under the legacy operators
