A major provider in rural parts of the country. Someone will snap them up then use the rural broadband government money to pay for it all. Pretending to provide high speed internet to all these "NEW" users.
No they won’t, part of the reason frontier was doomed is because their infrastructure is so bad they no longer qualify with the new rules. Their entire business model was buying up old copper infrastructure where there was no competition then claiming dollars from the fund. They’d upgrade the head end and say the speeds were now capable of 7/1 even though no customer could ever actually attain close to those speeds. I suffered through their bs for years and dumped them the second an alternative was available.
Had Frontier after ATT Uverse sold their lines to Frontier (Southern Connecticut). The service quickly went downhill and a year later I got out of my contract. They had abysmal customer service and outdated equipment that seemed to be required to use the former ATT lines. The biggest issue came down to service quality and speed. As well as lengthy outages that only increased throughout the year.
Time for google to buy it and really expand google fiber.
