Lumen's Quantum Fiber service raises the speed
ceiling and provides one of the fastest broadband speeds in the
U.S. to homes and small businesses
DENVER, Aug. 3, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), through
its premier fiber internet service, Quantum Fiber, is now offering
one of the fastest internet speeds in the U.S. Upload and download
speeds up to 8 gigabits per second are now available to select
residents and small businesses in cities near Denver, Minneapolis and Seattle, with more cities to come.
We're investing in technology and internet
speeds that will continue to push families and businesses into the
future.
"Technology is evolving and so is Lumen as we tap into the power
of our fiber network to give communities more bandwidth to excel at
work, play and online life," said Andrew
Dugan, chief technology officer at Lumen. "Lumen is
strengthening its portfolio and increasing gigabit speeds to fuel
consumer and small business broadband connections – and it's just
the beginning. We're investing in technology and internet speeds
that will continue to push families and businesses into the
future."
Tech Talk:
- Quantum Fiber service up to 8 gigabits provides internet speeds
40 times faster than the average advertised U.S. download
speed*.
- Lumen is using XGS-PON technology, a passive optical network to
provide the symmetric multi-gig capabilities.
- Innovative installation: Lumen will install a permanent network
interface and router at the premise that is separate from the
customer's Wi-Fi, allowing for easy Wi-Fi activations and simple
upgrades as technology evolves.
"This is a game-changer for internet users who want to broaden
their horizons with multi-gigabit connections," said Maxine Moreau, president of Lumen Mass Markets.
"Quantum Fiber service delivers reliably fast internet for the
increasing number of connected devices, virtual work environments,
next-level gaming and the ability to upload extremely large files
in a matter of seconds. We're so pleased to bring this
