CenturyLink Internet is currently down in parts of Colorado including Denver, as per user reports Sunday evening. The customers of Lumen Technologies’ telecommunication company are also facing issues while connecting to the WiFi networks amid social media claims of a “widespread blackout,” affecting Quantum Fiber.

Among the reactions on X, a user wrote, “Our TVs are working (we use streaming services, not cable) but Internet is not working on our phones.” One more user added, “My laptop is connect and streaming YouTube tv. My phone and TVs won’t even connect tough, it’s very strange,” while tagging the company.

“@CenturyLink no internet here in Northglenn and no I don’t own the account so I can’t give account info. Is there an outage in the area or not?” another remarked among several such reactions. The company however has no not officially released a statement addressing the users concern.

Ways To Troubleshoot CenturyLink If Internet Is Down

These are some temporary methods to diagnose and possibly fix the issue:

1. Check for Service Outages

CenturyLink Service Status: Visit the CenturyLink Service Status page to see if there’s an outage in your area.

Social Media: Check CenturyLink’s social media channels for any announcements about outages.

In this case, the company has not acknowledged a reported outage affecting its services.

2. Remote Troubleshooting

3. Restart Your Modem and Router

This is a method to fix temporary issues. If power cycling doesn’t work, try pressing the reset button on your modem or router (usually a small button that may require a pin to press).

4. Check Your Connections

Ensure all cables (Ethernet, power, coaxial) are securely connected.

5. Check for Local Interference

Other wireless devices (cordless phones, microwaves) can interfere with Wi-Fi signals. Try moving your router to a different location.

6. Update Firmware and Software

Check for and install any firmware updates for your modem/router.

7. Perform a Speed Test

Use a wired connection if possible and run a speed test using websites like Speedtest.net to determine if your connection is slow rather than completely down.

A man from the Denver metro area died and another is missing after a rafting accident in the Yarmony Rapids area of the Colorado River on Saturday, according to a news release from the Grand County Sheriff’s Office.

The Grand County Communications Center received reports of a person who was not breathing on the Colorado River, southwest of Kremmling, around 3:40 p.m. on Saturday. The sheriff’s office initially reported that the accident occurred in Gore Canyon, but it actually happened in the Yarmony Rapids area of the Colorado River, according to a Sunday update. Once on scene, first responders learned that there had been a rafting accident and that bystander CPR was in progress on an adult man, according to the release.

The man, a 56-year-old from the Denver metro area, was later pronounced deceased by emergency medical services personnel, the release states. The man’s identity has not yet been publicly released.

Another man had gone missing after the raft capsized, according to officials. Emergency responders searched the river and surrounding area for the missing man, a 61-year-old from the Denver metro area, but were unable to find him, according to the release.

According to preliminary reports, the two men were not wearing personal flotation devices, the release states. A third person from the rafting group safely exited the river after the accident, according to officials.

River rangers from the Bureau of Land Management will continue the search on Sunday. Anyone with information should call 911.
