- My 5G gateway is on an UPS (so was my Xfinity gateway); I don't know whether the optical converter would be on an UPS but the multiple devices within my home would not.
- I am actually paying less for the service I use than I would with Quantum
- I haven't yet been presented with a "price for life" offer that turned out to cover the life of the offer rather than the life of the equipment, the service, or me.

Thanks, this is good information. The post was not intended as a sales pitch but to create awareness for those looking for alternatives. Any alternatives and you pointed out some good reasons to go with a wireless solution. I've seen some wireless intstallations that work very well but you need to be close to the providers cell tower to get optimal performance. Also, most don't think about using a UPS. They are not that expensive and easy to hook-up keeping your service active during those annoying short power outages we get during summer storms.
