About CenturyLink / Quantum Fiber

The two brands behave very differently: Quantum Fiber is a modern symmetrical fiber product with no contracts, unlimited data, and included equipment, while CenturyLink DSL is a budget copper service best treated as a fallback where nothing faster exists. With the AT&T acquisition, expect Quantum Fiber markets to fold into AT&T Fiber’s plans over time.
