<pre wrap="">while i enjoy a good centurylink flogging as much as the next guy, i
have to say i've been quite pleased with the service. there was no
$250 charge for installation, so perhaps i just got them on a good
day. though to be fair, it did take a bit longer to get them to add
my split on the OLT since apparently they ran out of capacity on the
previous split. that took no shortage of phone calls.
given that the interface is a gige phy you're not going to be able to
detect a line rate change, you'd have to actively probe for changes in
throughput. which is an amusing notion.
although i'm more curious as to what the actual expectation was
relative to the speed tests was? with the encapsulation overhead on
the service you're not going to get a full gigabit of IP throughput
anyway.

I fought with Century Link over the FTTN speeds and refused to pay a penny

I got my $250 back for the installation.
Twice.
It helps to argue and work on breach of contract to get them to abide by the
agreement.

I signed up recently with CenturyLink and we agreed to a $50
discount off the price of the modem. Now I got the first bill
and no discount. I called them and they said they could only
give me a $25 discount -- something about how that was all
that was available at the time I signed up. I didn't get the
terms we agreed to in writing so I just said OK. But at least I
can let others know of what happened and maybe help you
avoid the same mistake.
