Windstream vs. Quantum Fiber Internet Providers Compared

I LIVE OUT OF TOWN AND THE INTERNET IS VERY SLOW

+ 5

I'm sick of the price gauging of every little thing including paper bill at $2 we practically have shoddy service and don't even have phone service only internet for $134.00. they wont even offer internet without phone but they will knock off 5 or 10 dollars for no long distance service. but tack on the service fees for that and you'll end up with $150 bill. I'm thoroughly disgusted with them after 30 years of the only rural service available and we have to have it for other services that need internet. I feel like a hostage.

Price went from 29.99 to 102.00

The price here is NOT what I am billed. I pay $98.91/month.

PSA. Do not work with Quantum Fiber it it is an option near you. I currently have CenturyLink ($65 for gigabit). I'm moving now, and I'm being forced to Quantum Fiber (Same company) instead. They jacked up their prices nearly 100% to $55 plus equipment rental for 500 down. It gets worse. I bite the bullet and get it because it's still cheaper than comcast bs. I schedule the install a week out before I'm officially moving (I work from home, internet is vital). 24 hours before the appointment they delay it with no explanation. 3 days later and 3 times contacting them, I have not been given a reschedule or explanation for the delay. This is the scummiest company I've ever encountered and it's not a contest. It has taken me hours to get to the point where one of their reps will actually cancel the account. It's all, 'oh would you like $25 bucks and no information'

If I could give 0 stars I would, they “chose” my backyard to install the main box in, destroyed a main sprinkler line, played the “blame game” about who broke it so nobody ever reimbursed us for fixing it, they are CONSTANTLY demanding access to my backyard to get to the box. My husband let one of their salesman talk him into getting their service (he didn’t realize they are directly tied to Century Link, so the box in the backyard IS there’s), the salesman outright lied to my husband stating that “no they wouldn’t need access to our backyard for installation and that the box isn’t “theirs” when in fact it is and the install went not only to that box, but they had to bury a line across my entire back yard, drill holes in my house, and had no regard to the plants they were stepping all over in my flowerbed while doing the work. I am currently looking for a different provider so I can cancel them and ship their stuff back. The service goes down no less than 3 times a day, the speed is worse than slow, their IT services provide nothing but excuses. We have had them less than a month and I refuse to stay, I guess you get what you pay for, although the price is low the quality is lower than low. If you are considering Quantum Fiber all I can say is RUN don’t walk away from them and go with absolutely any other provider.

Worst service ever. Their installation is a joke. They have no regard for a neighborhood,. They just barge in, take over, ruin yards, install overhead lines with no care, concern or common sense. Based on other reviews of how good their service is, and previous CenturyLink experience, I would never do business with Quantum.

Worse than Comcast and that's hard to do, we do not think there is much (Dumpy Trump) worse than this corp. Everything goes pretty much as expected until your hardware fails. then watch out. They will play every game in the book from no shows, but I knocked but no one answered, its a no show, CYA to get this. 19+ days no internet, finally the dog rats out the clown coming up the drive, and Quantum tell me I have to go to the house where their equipment is, and make an appointment with that homeowner for Quantum to appear for repair, I do not work for them also I have not the slightest idea which house (over there) he talking about, I do not know those folks. Also I do not make up this service persons schedule, I do not know his supervisor WHAT THE HELL????? Why can't he do this, because he F---- lazy and stupid. We quite, took shit off the wall and sent back, never to trust this crap corp again. Now we are back with Comcast and hating every minute of it. A city the size of Denver and the best they can offer are the two crappiest providers on the planet. We have tried there are just no good options. But Quantum is the worst.

When digging for their lines the were incompetent. They hit our underground utility and knocked the power out for several hours. The local power company had to send several trucks out to fix what they broke. When the power came back on one of my major appliances did not come back on. The foreman stated it was their fault and they would replace my appliance. After filing a claim the company decided they will not be responsible for their actions. This is not the first time they did this. It has happened in another local community. They lie and damage property. BEWARE!
