Form 477 records count census blocks a provider reports it can serve, not subscribers or homes connected, a measure of reported reach.

Record scope. CenturyLink, Inc. filed 1,601,093 Form 477 records; 1,432,675 (89.4%) are flagged as offered to consumers, and only those are counted here. This provider's record count, its rank, and the peer figures below are therefore a smaller subset of what it filed than for a provider with no notice like this. How the count is scoped.

CenturyLink, Inc. state-reach reading

Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, CenturyLink, Inc. sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.

CenturyLink, Inc.'s filings are geographically dispersed; even the lead state (Colorado) is only 8.5% of the book (121,423 records). Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
