True, but they haven't in 4 years since I've had the service. Infact, they have lowered the price without unlocking the service twice in those 4 years.
If you look at what we are paying for state-of-the-art fiber service compared to the rest of the country, we are very fortunate to have very low prices.
When I mean state-of-the-art, I mean we all have at least G-PON service and in the newer installs Quantum Fiber utilizes XGS-PON, which is a next-generation Passive Optical Network (PON) that enhances bandwidth for communities.
XGS-PON: Provides symmetrical bandwidth of up to 8 Gbps, allowing for high-speed internet access without modifications to existing fiber infrastructure.
Eventually we will all be upgraded to XGS-PON since it uses the same fiber only different equipment at the hubs and at the central office. Quantum already installed the latest Smart-NID at my home in my low voltage cabinet to support this newer infrastructure so I can test it when available. It looks like the same Smart-NID everyone has only with a newer faster processor and 10Gbs ports.
