Anyone else having issues? My modem cannot connect anymore. It was working an hour ago.

I am too. I was beginning to wonder if it was just me or not, so thanks for posting.

Wife's parents called theirs is out on the north side of ankeny too. Looks pretty widespread. I won't waste my time calling then.

I'm in extreme NE Ankeny, no issues here. Even ran a speed test to confirm and it came back normal.

My Qwest in Ames was very slow last night and finally went out totally. It was fine this morning at 5 AM and is still good to go. I wonder if they we doing an upgrade of some type in the offices in the area?

Any call to them is a waste....last summer I had issues with CL and even with calling for (not exaggerating) 73 straight days and over 20 service calls they still never fixed the issue. The worst part is where I live that's my only other option besides dial up or satellite .

Post a report on DSLreports. I did that a few months ago when I was getting 500k in the evenings. I got a call from a qwest rep and they had me back to 7 in 2 days by moving me to a fiber section.

In Des Moines ours dropped at 4:55. Cut off 8 business locations, very frustrating since the backup didn't auto connect like it was supposed to.

For future reference this is not how you create a thread about internet trouble. It needs to be titled something like "CENTURYLINK SUCCKKKSSSS!!!!!!!!"
