January 06, 2023 Frontier has come a long way from when they first took over from Verizon in my area. I think my internet speed is very fast now, and rarely experience connectivity issues during very heavy usage.

Frontier Fiber
July 08, 2025 frontier has decent internet when it works but they do not know how to trouble shoot you over the phone and fix your issues and they give you a router with open ports on the network leaving us open for hackers to attack which is not a good thing at all. All in all they service is decent but they lied about the price it was supposed to be 75 a month after a few months it became 175 a month and has been like that ever since other than that they are good.
