Which Village are you located?

I was over at a Villager's home this morning hard wiring his computer in his office who has the 2Gbs Quantum Internet service. The SmartNid looks the same but its a Q1000K.
The Q1000K combines the functions of a modem and a fiber-optic network terminal into one device. It decodes the optical signals that make your fiber internet work just like the 5500 unit.
The Q1000K is a high performance, 10G/1G XGSPON/GPON fiber SmartNID with a two-port LAN switch.
The Q1000K SmartNID is tested and certified to run at speeds up to 10 Gbps on the Quantum Fiber network. Talk about future proofing your home!
Plugging into the Q1000K or the Main Wifi7 pod, using my iPhone 16 I was able to measure 2gbs download and 1Gbs upload which is what is advertised for this service. Using the Wifi and my iPhone I measured slightly less than the wired speeds which I expected.
What we need to remember is at these speeds your device such as your computer, iPhone, etc, has to have the capacity to run at these speeds. My friend's laptop was an older model and although hardwired, was not able to reach the 2gbs download speed provided by Quantum.
