It was an interesting, and smart, marketing move by QuantumFiber. They went from offering 200 megabits per second for $30 per month (add an additional $15 per month if you want their router) to 500 megabits per second for $50 including their mesh router. So, the router is not exactly for free. Essentially, $5 for an increase in nominal bandwidth from 200 to 500 megabits per second and their $15 per month router is now included in the price of $50 per month, whether you need it or not. The increase in bandwidth is of limited value unless you are routinely moving gigabytes of data around. However, don't get me wrong, I still think it is a good deal, especially since the price appears to be fixed unless you make a change in the service. I have the $30 service using my own router and that provides about 10x more bandwidth than I can use.

I've been helping many of my neighbors and friends switch from cable to Quantum Fiber and every installation is excellent. Just like with Centric, you get a pretty sophiticated network set-up included in the cost of the service.

This is what we want, but Quantum says not available in our village yet. Deluna, south of 44. Home less than 2 y/o.

Check back on their availability page from time to time, as they are rolling it out, it may come to your Village.
