Does anyone actually like CenturyLink?

We (eyeball network in Germany) cancelled all our Level3 transit links last year since it consisted mostly of traffic of their own CDN and they refused to lower the price per mbit/s or set up peering for the CDN traffic. Now we receive their CDN traffic via a different Tier1, for a fraction of the price.

Operating a CDN inside a Tier1 network is just shitty behaviour.

Other than lack of options, why would anyone use them? To me, it just seems like asking for trouble...but maybe I'm missing something?
