Century Link is the only provider with fiber optic to the house. The others are coax to the house with most likely a fiber trunk elsewhere. CenturyLink offers 1 gigabit per second (1000 megabits per second) if you can find the use for it, along with several other speeds. Netflix 4K actually needs about 25 megabits per second as per their website. I assume this means that you must be able to sustain 25 megabits per second from their facility. 1080p HiDef needs about 5 megabits per second.

Just a note: buy your own Modem on Amazon, ask whoever you are getting for the type of modem needed (it will save you 10$ a month and pay for itself in 10 months). Only don't side I see is they don't install some compatible items (like The Nest)
