Utahns who get their internet service from CenturyLink are complaining about a recent interruption in their service, which included a pop-up ad for the company's security filters.

CenturyLink claims the interruption was to give a security notice required by a recent Utah law - though even the Utah legislator who sponsored the law says the company didn't need to cut into web service to deliver it.
