CenturyLink Brings Back Its Price for Life Guarantee CenturyLink this week dusted off the company's " price for life guarantee ," which the company says lets users pay the same rate for life -- provided they keep the same speed plan and address for the life of the connection. Traditionally such promises aren't worth much, usually evaporating after mergers, or compromised by the ISP tendency to impose covert rate hikes via an assortment of sneaky fees -- like CenturyLink's controversial "internet cost recovery fee." Fortunately, CenturyLink has been forced to back away from such fees and ramp up promos in markets they're losing subscribers to cable competitors. In short your mileage may vary, and the CenturyLink website has more detail.
