The Norwalk, Conn.-based company filed for Chapter 11 protection Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, according to The Associated Press.

The filing will allow the company to reorganize its finances while business operations continue.

Locally they were either sold or changed their name.

Great. They’re my e-mail peeps, but they’re easy enough to replace.

Any suggestions?

I have satellite Internet.

Although I hate doing business with google, they host my domain name for $12 a year. With that I can forward all email to that domain to my free gmail account.

Worst company and service I’ve ever experienced. Glad they’re going under. They ripped me off for $250 and told lie after lie when I tried to get the account straight.

Works great at my house but I have heard people say they are frustrated not only with them but also Cox as well in the city in which I reside.

They brought DSL out to my neck of the woods. I will be forever grateful to them for that.

“CenturyLink SUCKS!”

I echo that.

If you never have to contact CenturyLink they are tolerable. Don’t ever have to call customer non service thou.

Internet works.

Landline phone service pipes all the robocalls to me 24/7. Now when social security has to call me, CenturyLink is blocking their calls !!!

Frontier bought up a lot of decrepit landline networks never understanding how bad they were.

Verizon screwed Frontier in WV, Frontier figured they could make bank on the rural areas with no choice but a landline.

I’ve had great service from them. If I have a problem they come out and fix it right away.

The repair man even gave me his card with his home phone number in case I need service when the office is closed.
