The OP specifically asked about QuantumFiber's 200 megabit per second service. This service is 200 megabits per second up and down. See post #5.

The question that very few people know to ask is "what is my upload speed?". You'd be surprised at how little you get. And, it's true that you don't need very much upload speed for video streaming, email, web browsing, etc. But if you are using or thinking about using a cloud backup service or want to upload videos to youtube or any other action where you are transmitting (not receiving) data in volume, you will find out very quickly that the big number the various ISP's promote as the speed they are offing is worthless.
I run my entire household on 75mbps and have no speed issues. However, I have symmetrical bandwidth meaning I get 75mbps both up and down. That's what matters to me. Without fast upload speed, any task that requires uploading a volume of data will bring your computer to its knees.
So, your 200mbps is plenty fast for anything download related.
