Overall Satisfaction with CenturyLink Enterprise Voice SIP Services

CenturyLink Enterprise Voice SIP Services is used by the whole organization and is part of our distributed platform that we sell as a service. We have worked with them and used this service for almost the entire history of the company.
  • Reliable service
  • Supports wide range of key features
  • They do have high levels of support where you can receive real answers
  • Compared to their competition, their portal is impossible to use
  • Any needed changes feel like moving a mountain
  • Although they do have qualified support people, getting in touch with them or getting anything done is very difficult
  • Reliability
  • Ease of support
  • They have provided good, reliable service
  • We have incurred cost and delays in using their service vs a competitor
We use them all together for different reasons. I would much prefer the support and portal of Bandwidth and Voxbone, but have Lumen in the mix may help me rest better at night.

Did implementation of Lumen Next-Generation SIP Voice Services go as expected?

No

Would you buy Lumen Next-Generation SIP Voice Services again?

Yes

This is somewhat tricky to answer. They are many aggregate providers that as a large portion of their business, resell Lumen. Somewhat ironically they do a much better job at supporting and selling the Lumen service than Lumen itself.
