Sorry, I wasn't trying to come off as correcting you, just wanted to ensure folks knew it wasn't 'that' cheap!

I think they were my engineering professors.

As a former customer of frontier I can tell you the customer service is the bad part. Good luck if you need to speak with a person during an outage or on the weekend. It’s impossible to get a human being. And over two months after I cancelled my service I was still getting bills via email. Don’t do it. Just say no.

I switched from Comcast to frontier fiber about a month ago. The tech that came out was great, service has been amazing and can’t beat the price!

Switched from Cox 1000/35 Mbps plan ($190/mo) to Frontier 1gbps plan ($60/mo).
Been so happy I'll probably upgrade to the 2gbps or 5gbps plan because I saturate this one frequently enough.

Installation was kind of a challenge but since then it’s been fine.
Don’t cancel your current service with the expectation you’ll be up and running immediately with Frontier and it should be fine.

I do miss not having cable TV but the fiber service has been rock solid and it was very satisfying to tell Comcast that they'd never see another penny of my money.
Yes, you can subscribe to various services to stream TV over the Internet but they're all way too expensive for how little TV I watch.

I have it, and it's fantastic. It was spotty when we first had it installed, but then a technician came out and fixed it and it's never failed us. Reliable, fast, cheaper than Spectrum.

Not Frontier, but we have fiber internet through GoNetSpeed. Highly recommend them if it's available in your area

I had Frontier before their “upgrade” and upgraded afterwards and my service has improved and the price droppped. No complaints.

Got it in June, twice, we had issues from their cheap router but besides those times, it has been fine. We were paying 140/120$ before and now it is 40$ for 500mbs

No complaints, had an issue with the install a few weeks in and they sent a guy out next day to fix it, both the techs I worked with were super professional. Pretty understandable and I was pleased with how they handled it.
Haven't had any other issues. Definitely more reliable than Cox ever was.
YMMV I get Gigabit for $70/mo
and finally no stupid data caps, so I can actually download games without paying $200 a month total to Cox.

Yeah, brain fart. I really only got it because it was much cheaper than Comcast 300mb, they were trying to get me to pay ~$120/month for.

Prolly 500mb @$55/mo..... their 5GB plan is ~$165/mo

I switched from comcast to frontier, somewhat reluctantly, concerned about previous experience with frontier in the past. So far, a few months, it has been 100% reliable and I have zero regrets changing. Im outrageously happy! Also no issues with their hardware, but run my own firewall.

I switched from Xfinity to Frontier fiber about two years ago. Xfinity overloaded the nodes in our neighborhood which led to extreme instability and network time outs, during the time everyone went WFH.
I went from 30-50ms latency to Google's DNS to a steady 6ms. Huge upgrade. Then about six months later, I had two instances where we were out of internet for 2-3 days. The communication to their tech support was extremely basic, and even after telling them my background in network engineering, it was the usual "turn it off for 2 minutes and back on again". I get it, most people calling for tech support need basic support, but I was also coming off of Xfinity PTSD. Luckily it seemed the issues were sorted out and haven't had an issue since.
So other than the initial hurdles of getting it installed in your area, it's been great. The mixed things you've heard about Frontier most likely has to do with Frontier DSL, which is a different section of Frontier completely.
