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.
I helped a friend make this change yesterday, no need to call Quantum. Log into your account on the Quantum web site q.com.

At the top of the screen, click on Services. You should then see a box in the center of the screen with your current service. Also in that box is a button that says Change. Click that button.

The next screen will tell you what your location is eligable for. If you see the $35 offer you can click on it to start it immediately or at your next billing cycle. Whichever you select you will then need to put in your bank account information or you will pay $40 for 1Gbs. There are only selected areas here in the Villages that can get the offer.

This is much more secure than calling Quantum. Quantum offers a discount to direct bill via a bank account because they don't have to pay that fee to the credit card companies. But if you don't want to do this then stay with what you have.

In reading the fine print, this is not a promotion and is not supposed to change so I anticipate we should have this price for quite a while.

Hope this clears things up.
