What 21 Arbolus experts think of Lumen Technologies

NPS distribution skews positive, with most scores between 7 and 9, reflecting strong satisfaction, especially among high spenders and Influencers. Renewal intent shows a split: top spenders and long-term users are likely to renew, while a minority are offboarding or not sure. Stickiness is greatest among those with over a year of usage and large deployments. Key feedback themes include reliable US coverage, operational flexibility, and service variability. Some concerns are raised about innovation, legacy systems, and inconsistent commercial terms.Overall Customer Sentiment: Positive
