FiOs is an amazing bundle of Internet, Cable, and Unlimited Phone for only 89.99* I wish I had frontier so I could take up on this amazing offer… Instead I am stuck paying 154.00 for the same service at Bright House…. Talk about a pain….

*1 Year promotional Pricing….

At least some of you can get dsl. In my area we can get dial up internet which stinks, or we can get one of the costly sattelite providers like Wild Blue or Hughesnet. We have AT&T landline but no internet from AT&T. You people on frontier are luckier than we are.

Their high speed internet service leaves a lot to be desired. I am planning to switch to Mediacom for my internet and phone. Frontier’s customer service has a lot of room for improvement.

Dump the landline if you already have internet via cable or satellite and buy Ooma (www.ooma.com). They provide VoIP with no monthly costs and free calling to US phone numbers. The service is excellent and rivals vonage who charges $24.99 a month.

Take a look at Frontier’s frontieronline.com website and look at what they offer in your area. Right now, they have a “nationwide” special on the highest speed internet they offer in your area for $29.99. Add this to the phone service you like from their site, call them and switch. Don’t look at their phone + internet packages, they cost more when bundled. Get them seperate.

My phone bill dropped from $87 a month to $60 — a savings of $324 per year. I still have everything I wanted and needed on my phone plus DSL.

REGARDING:
“One thing for sure is they have no competition in this area and never will have, that was taken care of many years ago. ”

Actually, they DO have competition. Other writers even mentioned the competition: cell phones compete with land lines–and seem to be winning. Other countries don’t even bother with land lines, they realize they can get coverage without all the wiring if they just stick up a tower every few miles.

David still using a couple of land lines
but not knowing for how much longer

Ditto to all that.

The guys that work on the lines in my area, however, are very nice.

The phone service sometimes reminds me of the one we had when we lived in Puerto Rico.
