Frontier Fiber
June 13, 2023 We've had Frontier internet since they took over Verizon Fios. Unfortunately, they are the only provider available in our area. For the most part, we haven't had many issues. Our pricing is quite high, but in order to get speeds we need, we have to pay a premium price. Since they're the only provider, there's no incentive to offer a more reasonable rate.
