About this group
CenturyLink changed names to Lumen Technologies in '20. Before that they were Qwest. They offer quantum fiber, a fully digital platform for delivering fiber-based products and services to residences and small businesses.
They are one of the largest groups with 11 resporgs. So make sure you start with the right one. They have also changed names and grown through acquisitions, and use resellers. That means if your number is with them, it may have been serviced by a different organization. It also means that they may have numbers stuck in the cracks.
