Kinda ticked off to find out #att just bought #quantumfiber. The only reliable provider in my area which makes #resistandunsubscribe difficult if not impossible in this house. Yet another reason utilities should be switchable.

What's old is new again... Funny how all the parts of Ma Bell slowly but surely make their way back... 🤔

My account was was originally under Qwest, then CenturyLink, then Quantum Fiber, now Quantum Fiber from AT&T.

#ATT #QuantumFiber #Telephony #Monopoly

Anyone who had #CenturyLink fiber should be careful when contacting #QuantumFiber tech support.

I've been having daily 30 second connection issues for over a year now, so I finally got fed up and contacted support. However, that caused them to migrate my account somehow, and now I have no internet at all, and it might not come back for 48 hours.

My wife is not exactly happy with me right now.

The one thing I wish #QuantumFiber supported was static IPv4/IPv6 allocations. They have a business service offering, but it provides literally no extra benefits like static IP addresses. It simply marks the account as "used for business purposes" and changes how the billing process is performed.
Trying out T-Mobile 5G Home Internet

I’d been with CenturyLink Fiber since I moved into this house in early 2021, and was mostly happy with it. I never had any major outages aside from occasional drops due to their crappy provided router, which I replaced with a Linux SBC running OpenWRT. The only real complaints I had was that they used PPPoE + VLAN tagging (which was annoying to set up) and that for IPv6 they only provided 6rd which is a bit of a half-measure. But I was able to host services to my heart’s content, and they were pretty hands-off with a lot of things.

so the plot thickens w/r/t our #CenturyLink / #QuantumFiber nonsense: our line, being billed at 100/100, was changed on the GPON provisioning to 40/40, which makes it sound like they're DELIBERATELY hobbling connections to try and force a switch.
AT&T has $6 billion deal to buy CenturyLink fiber broadband business

Lumen uninterested in residential broadband but hasn’t offloaded DSL network.

Edit: got a code, so all set.
Xfinity is flaking out on us right when our promo deal runs out, so I'm looking to switch to fiber. Asked my retired neighbor who has #QuantumFiber for a referral since it would give both of us $100, but he's not come through after over a week and multiple polite reminders. Anyone a current customer and want some free money by sending me a referral link? https://www.quantumfiber.com/support/account/refer-and-earn-faq.html
