Cut the cord and take control with fiber internet
Gone are the days of flipping through channels only to find “nothing on.” Today, more seniors are discovering the freedom of streaming—watching what they want, when they want, without the clutter of cable boxes or the cost of bloated TV packages.
Seniors still watch more live TV than any other age group: 2.3 hours per day, on average, versus .8 hours for Generation Z. Even those hours watching live TV are gradually shifting to streaming platforms like YouTubeTV, Hulu, Sling, and FuboTV instead of a traditional cable TV subscription. That’s made possible by the fast connections that internet services for seniors can provide, especially when a fiber network is available.
With Quantum Fiber, you get more than just fast internet—you get the power to take control of your schedule, your entertainment, and your budget. Our fiber network is built to support streaming, video calls, and everyday browsing with ease. No more waiting for your favorite show to come on. No more sitting through endless commercials. Just simple, reliable internet service for seniors that works.
Why should you cut the cord?
Once you have a fiber connection, there’s almost no reason to have cable TV. The combination of fast speeds and reliability that fiber provides means you can enjoy what you want to watch, when you want, with crystal clear picture quality. Rather than being at the mercy of scheduled programming, there’s always something on that matches your interests. You can ditch the TV guides, skip the commercials, and get right to your favorite shows, movies, and games.
Cutting the cord means saying goodbye to expensive cable bills and hello to flexibility. With streaming, you’re in charge:
- Watch your favorite shows and movies on your schedule
- Pause for a snack or bathroom break—no need to miss a moment
- Choose ad-free options to skip the commercials entirely
- Access a world of content, from classic films to new releases
- Count on reliable service to help minimize pauses and frozen screens
A fast, stable connection from Quantum Fiber means you can stream with virtually no buffering or lag. Our internet services for seniors are designed to keep up with your lifestyle—whether you’re watching, chatting, or browsing.
