My parents have it because they live in an area it is the only option. If someone wants to swap to them, I advice them to talk to people that have it first. I know a few people that have it, and they all pray for the day more reliable options are available, especially if they are gamers like my husband.

If you are in territory where BellSouth is the local phone carrier you can choose. However, even if you change your local and internet carrier through a landline, it is still the same lines, cable and trunk line coming in to your home; they are just leased by different providers. Complaining to the Atmore Chamber will do no good, nor will it do any good to complain to the Public Service Commission in either FL or AL. North Escambia.com needs to do a story on the history of telephony in the area, and find out who we can actually complain to, in order to get some results.

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 22:18:35 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=70172#comment-102741 Has anyone thought of bringing these issues up to the Chamber of Commerce in Atmore? Frontier is a member there. Maybe if enough people complained to the Chamber, they would put pressure on Frontier or look to bring another service into the area. I would suggest sending them an email but they get their service through Frontier so they probably would never receive it. Frontier is not accredited by the Better Business Bureau so can't complain there. Has anyone thought of bringing these issues up to the Chamber of Commerce in Atmore? Frontier is a member there.

This is beyond rediculous now. Next they will be (like British Rail) with excuses like can't work because of falling leaves and the suns glare is to bright. As the ols saying goes "a bad workman always blames his tools"!!!! Apparently Frontier needs a new line of business, because communications is defenatly not their thing !!!

I'd be willing to bet that Frontier would also make concessions for development full of customers, if we only had another phone company to keep them honest.
