What is the difference between CenturyLink and Quantum Fiber?Quantum Fiber is CenturyLink's new brand for fiber internet service in select markets. If fiber is available at your address, you may see it marketed as Quantum Fiber. If not, you get CenturyLink DSL. The parent company (Lumen Technologies) is the same. Swell eliminates this confusion -- every address we serve gets fiber-to-the-home, period.Is Swell faster than CenturyLink?Yes, significantly. Most CenturyLink addresses get DSL speeds of 10-140 Mbps. Even Quantum Fiber maxes at 940 Mbps. Swell's plans start at 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) and go up to 5 Gbps -- all symmetrical, meaning upload matches download.Does CenturyLink have data caps?No, CenturyLink does not currently enforce data caps, and neither does Swell. Both providers offer unlimited data usage.Can I switch from CenturyLink to Swell?Yes! CenturyLink has no contracts on current plans, so there are no early termination fees. Swell provides free professional installation and a free Wi-Fi 7 router. We can install while your CenturyLink is still active for a seamless transition.Does CenturyLink have fiber in my area?Quantum Fiber (CenturyLink's fiber service) is available in limited parts of about 16 cities. Most CenturyLink addresses still only qualify for DSL. Swell is currently available in Oceanside CA, Kenosha WI, Farmington Hills MI, and Rockford IL -- and every address we serve gets fiber.Is CenturyLink going out of business?No, but the company has undergone significant changes. CenturyLink rebranded its business segment to Lumen Technologies and its consumer fiber service to Quantum Fiber. The consumer DSL service still operates under the CenturyLink name. Swell is a stable, growing local fiber provider focused exclusively on residential and small business internet.
