![]() ![]() I am going to complain to state regulators about this this is not right.Īpprox. My dad got the DSL service in 1995 and since the change was made later I think this is very sleezy of CL. I used the internet archives to look at old CL pages and found no fine print to the "price for life" until around 2017 when they started saying price for life guaranteed when bundled with home phone service. Customer service was kinda rude to my dad and told him there is nothing they can do but told him they will send him a customer survey to fill out. In the flyers they sent him with his bill it never mentions anything about the price for life being canceled if you make changes to your service. As soon as he did that CL says since he made a change to his service the "price for life" is no longer in affect. Because he is on a fixed income and money is tight he decided to drop the CL phone a go with cell phone service on my family plan. Last month my dad was looking at his huge CL Phonebill he was paying $120.00 a month for phone and internet. My father has never missed a payment and never had his service interrupted. Last month CL raised is price for this crappy slow DSL service from $29.99 to $50.00. Since around 2009 CL has been sending fliers in his monthly statements that say his internet price is guaranteed for life. ![]() He has been paying $29.95 a month for slow (less than 10 Mbs) DSL service. He has had the phone service since 1972 DSL internet since 1995. My father who is 87 years old has lived in the same house since 1972 and has centurytel (now centurylink) phone and internet. Thinking maybe this bad boy from 2019 might get better signal so DSLAM would turn off my damn interleave? Maybe a newer modem would help? I'm on a C1100Z which came out in 2011. I figure this might reduce interleave because packets will be closer together, but I have no idea how underlying protocol handles it. Is there anything that can be done about interleave? I have considered introducing some artificial traffic to take up half our upload and download bandwidth while gaming. I don't know if they adjust DSLAM settings or leave them on auto, my signals are bad too lol. My parents called about slow internet several times (pretty sure it was just bufferbloat), which may have led CenturyLink to jack interleave all the way up. My ping is rock steady even with 5 people streaming, but too high for FPS games because I must be on some crazy interleave depth. I setup OpenWRT with CAKE SQM so I have zero bufferbloat. My latency in games is 130ms and my favorite FPS is nearly unplayable because interleave mangles UDP packet order causing players to glitch around. I have 50ms latency to first hop, probably all interleave. BTW I think error packets is bugged it didn't reset when I cleared stats an hour ago ![]()
