I would not be surprised if that dropped dduring some peak time like football playoffs but I’ve never had any issue with buffering or dropouts.

(Okay, not never. T-Mobile was having some problem Wednesday afternoon but it was back to normal by dinner time)
I have been a CenturyLink customer both here and in Colorado. I just switched to Quantum as the service tech who replaced my fiber line (pool contractor broke it multiple times) said all the equipment they carry is for Quantum and if I had a CenturyLink outage due to equipment breaking, it might take weeks to replace.

As for speeds, I just checked on my iPad wireless and got 650 download and 200 upload. I do have issues with their support all outsourced to India.

I just helped my 85+ yo neighbor leave Xfinity as she was paying well over $250 per month for TV, Internet and a landline. I saved her over $100 per month. $40 more if she bites the bullet and drops the landline. Took some time for her to get past no channels but I put her favorite stations to the top of her guide and she rarely has a problem.
