I live on a street where the slowest DSL exist and they say it can't be improved as I'm being served from a slow direction.. No plans that I know of to improve any service.. I'm looking at changing to Cable as it's speeds are far faster than DSL.. I'm not at all happy with Frontier as my DSL connection isn't available to my PC.. I'm upset and trying to be nice but service isn't satisfactory.. I know Frontier needs the business.. wants the business but I see no improvement in the near or far future.. DSL needs to be fast but it should work and it's now now working. Frontiernet offers three speeds of DSL but doesn’t tell customer which they are on..

But of course, the CSR says no outage. FYI...we are in area in which we do not have a choice of local carriers; this is due to accommodations made to small local phone companies during the deregulation in the 80's of Ma Bell and AT&T. And the dirty little secret of areas who do have choice: the other carriers rent the same lines and equipment that are ready connected to your home! Frontier is extremely slow today too.

Very aggravating when you pay your bills and such online. I rebooted several times so it was definitely a Frontier problem!

Frontier needs to be respectful of its customers and AT LEAST offer a comment or reason for the outages. People are more willing to understand and to be forgiving, butonly if they understand the problem. Let's get this problem FIXED, Frontier. Tell us what's going on...we deserve that much. If you don't tell people then they will be forced to move to another carrier for service. No pun intended, but "keep the lines of communication open". It's vital. Literally!

No problems with Frontier DSL Sunday evening at our office. And we’ve not received no other emails or complaints. You might try powering everything off and rebooting.

We need reliable service out here. So here's a question; can they be sued if you can't reach 911 when you need to? Something to think about. apparently if you want something done you have to put pressure in the right place…change providers until they get the message. We need reliable service out here.
