Frontier Fiber
June 08, 2023 Was recently upgraded from old DSL to new fiber. Installers came on time, explained everything well, and finished promptly. The speed of downloads is noticeably better and streaming doesn't buffer as it occasionally did before. My bill is only a couple dollars more and I was not charged for installation. All in all I am pleased with upgrade.
