CenturyLink has the worst customer service of any company that I've ever dealt with. The customer service reps are poorly trained and speak very little to no English and have trouble understanding questions. For a telecom company I'm astonished about how bad their customer service is, they're useless. I'm trying to get a new line run to my new house for home phone landline service and I've been on the phone with them 3 times and transferred to countless reps and none of them could understand and solve my issue. Then I found the link on their website to contact upper management and I contacted them and all they said was that they'd escalate the case to the supervisor and I never got a response back, then I contacted them again 2 more times inquiring about a follow up and I never got a response back. I implore you not to do any business with CenturyLink, their customer service is absurd.
I ordered service for my residence & business, for which they sent boxes but no one ever showed up to install them. TWICE! Therefore the service was never hooked up. I continued on with spectrum. This was in May of 2019 & they have not stopped billing me or harassing me, to date. They are now trying to say I, a senior citizen ordered self install for my home & business. I would have never done that, not in a million years, that's just one of their lies. I have involved the attorney generals office & centurylink keeps saying they have sent labels to return the boxes & that they will credit everything after they get the boxes. They have never sent the labels & I can prove that through photographed daily mail, in my email. While in the middle of trying to settle things through the office of the attorney general, I get a notice that centurylink has turned my account (that I NEVER had)over to a collection agency. Keeping in mind, centurylink gave me until the 24th of march 2020 to send boxes back (without the labels they claim to have sent)in order to receive the credit, but, On March 21st 2020 is when I received the credit threat. So this is their way of working things out, by lying & deceitful actions. How can someone collect on something they NEVER provided & better yet threaten an excellent credit record for something that NEVER took place?? WORST company & customer service EVER!! Almost a whole year of harassment from this company & still have gotten NO where!
I am not only a Star2Star Dealer, but I have been using them in my office for 5 Years and have had no problems. Support has always been great, but I tell my customers, I am the first call for support. I have never charged a customer for a warranty repair, the only time I might charge a customer is if they do an add move or change that requires me to go on-site. All changes I can do online I do at no charge. The one thing I seem to find about all of the negative reviews, is they have problems with their dealers not providing the service they should. I am sorry you have that experience with your dealer. But I would recommend that if your dealer is not providing you the service you need, and they are charging for warranty repairs, call Star2Star and ask to have your account moved to another dealer because your dealer is not providing you the service you should be getting. Star2Star will act. And if they can't resolve things with your dealer, they will put you under another dealer that will take care of you.
I wish I could rate them as a 0. Terrible company, terrible service, terribe support. Don't use them.
