How WiFi 7 transforms your streaming experience

Quantum Fiber has set the bar high by becoming the first internet service provider to achieve a Wi-Fi CERTIFIED 7 device. Here’s how this cutting-edge technology can take your movie night to the next level:

  1. More bandwidth: WiFi 7 can provide significantly more bandwidth than WiFi 6, which means smooth streaming and the ability to handle more devices at once—great for larger households.
  2. Decreased network congestion: If multiple people are streaming, gaming, or using the internet at the same time, WiFi 7 can decrease network congestion, helping ensure your connection stays smooth and stable.
  3. Seamless streaming in 4K or 8K: With WiFi 7, you can stream your favorite horror movies in stunning 4K or 8K resolution with virtually no lag or dropouts, even during high-traffic periods.

Whether you’re streaming on one device or multiple, WiFi 7 from Quantum Fiber delivers a great and reliable connection, helping ensure you get the best out of your horror movie marathon.

How to optimize your internet for the ultimate horror movie marathon

While high-speed internet and WiFi 7 from Quantum Fiber provide great performance, there are additional steps you can take to ensure an excellent streaming experience. Here’s how to optimize your setup for movie night:

 

  1. Use Ethernet for a more stable connection: For virtually uninterrupted 4K streaming, especially in multi-device households, consider using an Ethernet connection for your main streaming device or TV. Ethernet offers a hard-wired connection, meaning it’s not utilizing WiFi, which reduces the risk of any potential wireless interference and gives you a stable connection.
  2. Set up your router in a central location: To ensure optimal WiFi coverage, place your router in a central, elevated location to minimize dead zones. Avoid placing it near large electronic devices or metal objects that could interfere with the signal.
  3. Limit other devices on the network: If multiple people are streaming or gaming at the same time, it may cause your internet connection to slow down. Limiting heavy data use on other devices can improve streaming quality.
  4. Make sure your plan fits your household’s needs: If your household has multiple users streaming, gaming, and using smart devices, consider upgrading to higher speeds from Quantum Fiber, such as speeds up to 940Mbps, or multi-gig speeds of up to 2 Gig, up to 3 Gig, up to 8 Gig in select locations, to avoid interruptions.

Top streaming platforms for Halloween horror movies

With so many streaming platforms available, you have access to a wide variety of horror films. Here are some of the top platforms for streaming horror movies this Halloween:

  1. Netflix: With a vast library of horror, Netflix offers everything from original content like Bird Box to classics like The Shining.
  2. Hulu: Known for its rotating selection of films, Hulu offers modern hits like The Invisible Man as well as cult favorites.
  3. Disney+: Perfect for family-friendly scares, Disney+ offers classics like Hocus Pocus and The Nightmare Before Christmas.
  4. Amazon Prime Video: With a mixture of included titles and rentals, Amazon Prime Video lets you stream newer releases like A Quiet Place and Midsommar.
