CenturyLink pole attachment bonds.
2% of the bond amount.
Before an outside provider hangs cable, fiber, or other facilities on Qwest Corporation dba CenturyLink QC poles in Oregon, the pole owner requires a pole attachment license agreement — and a surety bond standing behind it, guaranteeing you pay your attachment charges and make good on any damage. CenturyLink QC sets the bond amount in your license agreement; premiums cost 2% of the bond amount, $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit pull that never affects your score.

What it is and who needs it.
What the pole attachment bond actually guarantees
Qwest Corporation, doing business as CenturyLink QC, owns and maintains telephone poles throughout its Oregon service territory. Before a cable, fiber, wireless, or other third-party provider attaches facilities to those poles, CenturyLink QC requires a pole attachment license agreement — and, as a condition of it, a surety bond.
The bond is a performance-and-payment guarantee: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and Qwest Corp. dba CenturyLink QC (the obligee). It backs your obligation to pay the attachment fees and charges due under the license agreement, and to indemnify CenturyLink QC for loss, damage, or claims arising from your attachment work — including removing or relocating your facilities when the agreement requires it.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. CenturyLink QC sets the bond amount in the license agreement rather than a fixed statutory figure, so this bond is priced at 2% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum, after a quick soft credit pull that never affects your score.
