Does anyone actually like CenturyLink?

CenturyLink a network which has a long history of troubles, merged with Level3/TWT/Telcove/etc which had, IMOHO, excellent technical history. They've created some bastard which is less than what Level3 once was. As legacy Level3, I still have most of my original team, but I'm confident that whatever caused CL's messes has worked its way into the works.

This is on the Legacy Level 3 side which is generally much better and still largely separate (according to my former co-workers). So say what you want about CTL but this is an LVLT issue.

I've never heard a single positive word about them, and I've had my fair share of issues myself (as an indirect customer). But it seems that lots of people put them in their transit blend. 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?
