Common questions about CenturyLink

How do I check if CenturyLink is available at my address?
CenturyLink is built out address by address, so a coverage map will not answer the question for a specific home — two houses on the same street can get different answers. Enter your street address in the checker on this page and FiberNear will confirm whether CenturyLink, or another fiber provider, can actually serve your location. It is free and there is no obligation.
Is CenturyLink fiber or cable?
CenturyLink is neither — it is DSL, delivered over the copper telephone line. Speeds fall off sharply with distance from the exchange, and it is the slowest of the wired options. Where the parent company has built fiber, it is usually sold under a different brand.
What speeds does CenturyLink offer?
CenturyLink copper tiers commonly top out well below 100 Mbps and vary sharply with distance from the exchange. Tiers, pricing and promotional terms are set by Lumen Technologies, Inc. and vary by address — confirm them with the provider before you order.
