I’m glad you had a good experience with Quantum. I think it’s highly dependent on your location and on which sub they decided to hire that day. My experience with them was miserable. The installer sub was an imbecile. He knackered the installation to the point that it took 3 months and a half dozen visits by actual company-employed techs to straighten it out. Quantum made Comcast look like a concierge service.

Oh dear! That sounds horrendous, @devinplombier . I should count myself as lucky. Maybe their workforce here in Portland is better than average. Or i just got lucky. But in any event, the ISP service itself has been flawless ever since; no outages and most importantly, no congestion slow downs (even during World Cup!!) that always use to make TIDAL, Qobuz and Roon loose their collective and respective minds when I had the audio on the Comcast/Xfinity cable-based network. |
@kirkwallace Unfortunately there is no fiber in this area. Given our proximity to Silicon Valley, one would think we would have fiber. Nope. What we have is 1970 era twisted pair wire. It's so noisy, my FM radio in my car quits within a few feet of the sidewalk. I'll review the whole ISP offerings again in the near future. I'm told we will get fiber "in the future", whatever that means. |
