Their router that they provided FREE, did not read the back of the house or the kitchen so I purchased a better one with external antennas. I was in Walmart on Rt466 and there was a Rep from Quantum that told me that they were part of Lumens, a big company. He offered me 200 for $30 and 940 for $70 and told me that I would be contacted eventually anyway since they were taking over Centurylink. He said that if I transferred over now that they would do all the work of contacting and transferring my internet over from Centurylink. He agreed with me that if my TV streaming and PC internet usage is working with 200 that I should be fine with their $30/200MBps package. He said that I could use my router but they would provide the fiber to Cat5 modem free. I am converting over to Quantum 200MBs since I do not have any confidence that anyone can truly provide 940MBs. I can run three TVs streaming and two desktop computers on the 200MBs easily. If I was able to get a stronger 5G signal in my home, I would probably think about going with a 5G hotspot. I set up someone else's home with a temp 5G network, streaming TV and laptops until they could get their internet installed and it works great. I just used their cell phone as a 5G hotspot.

Quantum can absolutely give you ~1Gbps. I know several people who have it at that speed. I have their 200Mbps service and it's quite good.
