CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber

CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber internet starts at $50/mo for Quantum Fiber 200 (200 Mbps) and ranges up to the Quantum Fiber 8 Gig plan at $165/mo (8 Gig). The plan you pick should match how your household actually uses the internet, not just the lowest sticker price.

As with most providers, the advertised rate is usually a promotional price. Promotions can step up after the intro period, and equipment, taxes and one-time fees can change your final bill. A KonnectX specialist gives you the real, all-in monthly cost up front so there are no surprises on your first statement.

If you mostly browse, email and stream on a few devices, the entry-level Quantum Fiber 200 plan (200 Mbps) at $30/mo is plenty.

For a busy home with 4K streaming, gaming, smart-home gear and several people online at once, step up to Quantum Fiber 8 Gig (8 Gig). The full lineup with current pricing is in the comparison table above — pick the tier that covers your peak usage, not your average.

Fiber offers the fastest, most consistent speeds available, with download and upload speeds that match. Because uploads are as fast as downloads, fiber is ideal for video calls, cloud backups, livestreaming and working from home.

Fiber is largely immune to the peak-hour slowdowns and weather interference that affect other technologies, so the speed you pay for is the speed you get. In short, CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber is a strong choice for households that game, stream in 4K, work from home, or have many connected devices.

Service includes a fiber gateway; most plans bundle the Wi-Fi router so there's little or no extra equipment to buy. Ask whether your plan includes the gateway or adds a monthly rental — over a year that fee adds up.

Setup is available as self-install on many plans, or a professional install for a one-time fee. A specialist schedules the appointment and tells you exactly what's included.

Most CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber plans come with no annual contract, so you keep the flexibility to upgrade, downgrade or cancel without an early termination fee.

Most CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber plans include unlimited data with no overage fees. Keep an eye on one-time activation or installation charges and any equipment rental — those are the line items that most often surprise new customers.

Whether CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber is your best option depends entirely on your address. A fiber provider might beat it on a neighboring street, while CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber could be the clear winner on yours — coverage is that local.
