DENVER (KKTV) - Colorado's attorney general announced on Thursday CenturyLink will pay more than $8 million to the state and some customers for "unfairly and deceptively charging hidden fees, falsely advertising guaranteed locked prices, and failing to provide discounts and refunds it promised to consumers who signed up for internet, television, and telephone services in Colorado."
