I left Xfinity because they consistently increased the price over the years, to the point where I was paying $250 a month. My complaint with Quantum is NOT related to quality, but their outright lies. None of this matters, because where I am moving Quantum is not available. I think some folks on here remind me of the frog in the stew pot. Like the saying goes, put the frog in the cold water and turn on the heat and the frog will not notice the increased heat and eventually cook. It you put him in the boiling water, he might attempt to jump out. I was offered $30 a month price and they are increasing it without explaining. I turned down their $50 a month price for life, because I did not need or want the increased speed. I have no doubt that those paying $50 a month for life, will see it go up to $60 and then $70 a month and just shrug their shoulders. After all, Xfinity charges more, right?
Lie to me once, shame on you. Lie to me the second time and I do nothing, shame on me. If it's not "for life" as advertised, then how can we even trust them in anything else they say? I guess we can chalk off a thirty percent increase as a result of inflation. Kind of like going to the grocery store today, prices are due to inflation. Nobody's fault..........nothing to see here, folks.

They are not lying. If you read the fine print all the details are there. At the end of the day an Internet company can and will keep the pricing to what the market conditions are unlike the cable companies which have an unending content provider cost that is always passed on to their customers. For many years $500 MBS for $50 and 1GBS for $75 is the average price for these Internet services and is actually less expensive than most of the country and I Don't expect these to change any time soon. All I see here is Quantum raising their prices slightly to align with the market. The good news is they are now offering you WiFi7 mesh network pods which are superior to the old ones and they still come with the service at no extra charge. Most people don't realize but this is a big deal since if you had to buy a similar system yourself it would cost you at least $400 or more.

Sorry to hear you can't get fiber service at your new home. Now you have to go back into the hamster wheel dealing with the cable companies for a good price.
