These upgrades are designed to address everyday connectivity challenges and provide tools that empower you to take control of your internet experience.

Enhanced parental control features
Parental controls are no longer just a nice-to-have—they’re essential in today’s digital landscape. With more children learning, playing, and socializing online, parents need tools to help manage their family’s internet use effectively. Quantum Fiber app 2.0.0 introduces features that make it easier to protect your loved ones while fostering a safe online environment.
New parental control features include:

Why parental controls matter:
Imagine this: Your teenager has an important virtual class, but they’re distracted by gaming websites. With the new parental controls, you can restrict access to non-educational sites during school hours. Or picture a younger child unintentionally stumbling onto inappropriate content—content restrictions can help ensure their browsing stays safe. These tools empower you to maintain balance, productivity, and safety within your home.
