I did see the QuantumFiber $35 offer for nominal 1 gigabit per second. I currently pay $40 for 200 megabits per second and I doubt I would switch service levels. First of all, 200 megabits is already about 10x more than I can use. Secondly, the $35 price is for autopay through a checking account. We have QuantumFiber autopay through a credit card and I generally prefer not to give access to our checking account. Thirdly, based on past experience, I don't relish spending anytime on the phone with QuantumFiber, which I am sure would be necessary since I want to continue using my own wirelesss router. At some point, I will probably be forced into a higher service level but I will let sleeping dogs lie until then.

That said, if I was going to pay $35 regardless of whether I received 200Mbps or 1Gbps, I might just as well get the 1Gbps.
