My guess is that the quality of CT service is inversely proportional to how long they've owned it. Much of the Embarq plant was being improved when they bought it, so it can now decay.

Re: [WISPA] Centurylink bandwidth
I'm in the same city with centurytel's corporate office.

Re: [WISPA] Centurylink bandwidth
We've had various CL (was Embarq) upstreams out of our more rural data facility for 6+ years now. We started with T1s, went to ATM, upgraded to Fiber and we've recently moved on to a different layer 2 provider to peer with Level3. We were fortunate enough to have that option. During our experience with Embarq/CL we had a host of issues from basic outages/cuts to capacity issues. I think their issues are going to be more regional than global though. My issues in Central Florida likely wouldn't be the same issues somebody might have in other areas.

Re: [WISPA] Centurylink bandwidth
Using centurytel fiber for my primary uplink. No problems and good support.
