September 14, 2024 Prices have stayed the same for at least two years without large increases. We have not had long term outages causing disruptions to our day. I work from home so it's important that I don't lose internet. Even with storms we did not lose our internet so we are happy.

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.

April 30, 2023 I am satisfied with my provider, but the price could be better. Usually when I call and say I am going to switch to another company, they give me a pretty good discount for about 12 months. I have never had any issues with service and the speed is good. I think they are probably better than any other service provider that is in my current area. I don't think I will be switching any time soon.
