From what you wrote, it seems Quantum installations are pretty similar to installations from other companies. Your *stated* interest is "to help Villagers get Quantum Fiber installed optimally" because "all installations may not be perfect" and therefore "you might not get full speed everywhere." Sounds no different than any other install from any other company.
I use Quantum Fiber as a comparison example all the time because in my opinion, they have a well thought-out system that gives the best and most consistent results for the home user based on my couple of years experience looking at installations here in the Villages. I worked at Verizon for 30 years and focused later on in my career on FiOS (their fiber optic service) and wifi device solutions in the home so I have a lot of experience in this specific area. As I mentioned, the cable companies are making changes to their equipment and installations but they are not there yet because they are still relying on a single router/wifi device solution.

My comments were to reinforce getting good wifi service is not only about what's being provided to your home but the wired and or wifi distribution of that service throughout your home. As you mentioned, all the companies can provide the different services to satisify everyones individual needs but what can differentiate them, regardless of speed and cost, is the equipment provided to get good coverage throughout your home.

The reason I started this thread was to discuss the different issues Villagers are experiencing, what works and doesn't work for them and some possible solutions.
