Yes, I do. I have had fiber to the house since I moved here 9 years ago. Currently, they market symmetric bandwidth but before the rebranding (from CenturyLink to Quantum Fiber, same people under the Lucent umbrella) they typically offered asymmetric bandwidth. I previously had 80 megabits per second down and 40 megabits per second up. They could pretty much give you any bandwidths and can probably still do that but the current offerings are 200 megabits per second and 940 megabits per second, symmetric. If I had not switched to the Quantum Fiber rebranding, I would still have asymmetric bandwidth through the CenturyLink brand name with the exact same fiber to the house infrastructure.
