In terms of comparisons between CenturyLink Enterprises Voice SIP and Flowroute would be the display and formats. In my opinion, CenturyLink has an easier format and can make a difference when it comes to inbound and outbound calls. Of course, every company has its pros and …

I feel like you get better value for your dollar here. They always will let you know if there is a promotion going on or if they have a discounted rate depending on the number of users that you have in your environment. They also make it easy to negotiate rather than having to …

I have found a better solution is to run two different carriers through SD-WAN (such as Bigleaf or Velocloud MSR) and use a provider like BCMOne (formerly NexVortex) to manage the SIP. BCMOne/Nexvortex is an AWESOME SIP provider with better planning, deployment, and technical …

CenturyLink was the only provider we were able to secure services through at our location.

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.

Compared to ATT and Verizon, we have gotten much better uptime and pricing is better as well. There is much less red tape when placing orders or getting quotes. Real, actual support is also much closer to the customer, rather than being full of AI assistants and off-shore …

CenturyLink [Enterprise Voice SIP] was the incumbent, so switching providers, particularly for our HQ was an overwhelming task for our small team. We did migrate from the legacy CenturyLink voice product EIPT to the new Voice Complete solution as well as upgrade our US and UK …

CenturyLink SIP is an acceptable solution if you have an on-prem PBX (ShoreTel, Mitel, etc) that accepts SIP. I have found a better solution is to run two different carriers through SD-WAN (such as Bigleaf or Velocloud MSR) and use a provider like BCMOne (formerly NexVortex) to manage the SIP.

Lumen-Centurylink has suffered from many noticeable outages in the last few years - this is a blow to their reputation that they still have to recover from.
Lumen-CenturyLink does not peer well enough with OTHER carriers - they depend on their own network to give you SIP, which means less true redundancy.
Lumen-CenturyLink needs a better customer portal/interface to handle failover, see the real-time status, etc.

SIP service support is definitely improving. A few years ago I would have rated them a 2. Now a 7. But, Lumen still needs a better portal experience to report and see a real-time status. Also to manage SIP failover functions in a WYSIWIG/GUI interface. When Lumen's network breaks in a larger outage, there are long hold times and support is not good.

CenturyLink [Enterprise Voice SIP] was the incumbent, so switching providers, particularly for our HQ was an overwhelming task for our small team. We did migrate from the legacy CenturyLink voice product EIPT to the new Voice Complete solution as well as upgrade our US and UK circuits along with a hardware upgrade of the managed PE routers in each location. We also decided to implement RingCentral in one of our very small international branches but the lack of features is problematic. We still have T1 service in our other international branches but are looking to go full cloud SaaS PBX there, likely through Microsoft Teams, which we already use for messaging. There are some complexities, as we can't port our numbers directly yet and need to set up an additional CUBE router for SIP. Eventually we hope to get to fully SaaS via Teams.
