How long does it take to set up internet service with CenturyLink?

Asked 2 years ago
The time it takes to set up internet service with CenturyLink can vary based on a few factors, including the type of service being installed and the location of the customer. Typically, if the service is for a self-installation, customers may receive their equipment through the mail, and once it arrives, it can be set up within a matter of hours. Most often, the self-installation kit includes detailed instructions to facilitate the process. On the other hand, for professional installations where a technician is required to come to the home, the process generally takes longer. The actual installation appointment can usually be scheduled within a few days, depending on availability in the area. During the appointment, the technician will handle everything from connecting the necessary lines to ensuring the service is operational and optimizing the setup. For the most accurate information regarding setup times or to explore service options, customers might consider visiting the CenturyLink website, where they can find detailed information relevant to their specific needs.
