Quantum Fiber? Sounds like a misbranding. I highly doubt they are using Quantum technology. That’s how Lowe’s got in a lawsuit for selling 8” boards that were 7.6” long and similar.

I think this is just someone trying to pull the stock price out of the dumps by branding themselves a “tech company”. There are still things from the TWTelecom days they haven’t finished integrating into the control panel, this should be fun watching them try to change the name at the same time.
