Frontier Communications is a major internet provider in northern Boise, covering certain neighborhoods like Downtown, North End, Boise Heights, Veterans Park, and Sunset.

The coverage area for CTC internet is somewhat similar, reaching a handful of northwestern Boise neighborhoods. Neighborhoods within the service area include Central Rim, Winstead Park, Collister, and Quail Ridge.

The worst internet, lies about speed and then when I tried to cancel they will not let you cancel online for issues of speed but I could cancel bc I was “moving” this obviously to make it harder to cancel service. Even when I try to call every time it said it was after hours even though it was 4pm. I would never use century link, I would rather use my cell phone hot spot.

WORST internet provider I have EVER been with! They treat their customers so poorly and blame the customer for something not working out when it is CLEARLY CenturyLink who is at fault. Internet speed is slower than molasses; all my devices lose internet at least twice a week; and the reps are extremely unpleasant. If I could give 0 stars I would. Terrible service. Don't do it
