About Frontier Communications internet

Taylor Gadsden Last updated: February 24, 2021

Frontier internet coverage spans areas of 25 states, primarily serving suburbs and rural areas with their DSL service. Frontier FiberOptic is available in select cities in California, Texas, Florida and Indiana. Previous Frontier service areas in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington are now served by Ziply Fiber, who recently purchased all Frontier networks in these states.

Frontier FiberOptic internet

Frontier FiberOptic gives you a reliable fiber optic internet connection for online gaming, streaming your favorite shows and working or learning from home. 

Take a look at the benefits of Frontier FiberOptic and the 100% fiber optic network:

• Fast download and upload speeds – FiberOptic can reach gigabit speeds, up to 940 Mbps. Additionally, FiberOptic can deliver much faster upload speeds, up to 880 Mbps, whereas cable or DSL internet upload speeds are unlikely to reach more than 30 Mbps. 
• More Frontier internet plan options – Frontier presents three or more plan options with speed tiers of 50, 500 and 940 Mbps. With DSL internet service, you’re likely to have only one or two Frontier plan options with speeds varying by what’s available in your area. 
• Lower cost per Mbps means better value – The fast speeds and comparatively low prices of Frontier FiberOptic plans give you more speed for the money. Frontier’s fastest internet plans, 500/500 and 1 Gig, will both have you paying around $0.10 per Mbps or less.

Frontier DSL service

Frontier uses DSL technology to deliver an internet connection over your phone line. This helps bring affordable internet service to more areas, especially rural areas that may not have access to a quality cable or fiber optic internet connection. Plus, Frontier Internet plans come with unlimited data, a bonus you’re unlikely to find with a satellite or fixed wireless connection.

Frontier Internet service comes with the fastest speeds available at your address, so speeds and pricing will vary by location. The maximum download speed you can expect with Frontier DSL is about 75 Mbps. Depending on where you live, you could have access to one of three Frontier DSL plans:

Frontier Wi-Fi service, equipment and fees

Wi-Fi service is available with all Frontier internet plans. Since Wi-Fi is available with all Frontier internet plans, all plans could be considered “Frontier Wi-Fi plans.” You’ll need a router to get Wi-Fi service, which is included with your Frontier internet plan.

Equipment rental is included in the price

There is no added fee for equipment as your rental is included with the price of your plan. Frontier equipment features a single “gateway” device which acts as your modem and Wi-Fi router in one. Necessary Wi-Fi equipment may vary by internet type and speed you choose, but you can trust Frontier to provide the right device for your connection.

No contracts, no data caps

Frontier internet plans do not require a contract, allowing you to change your plan or transfer service when you move without fear of early termination fees.

There are no monthly data caps with Frontier internet, so you don’t have to worry about watching your data usage to avoid overage fees. That’s not to say Frontier internet is truly unlimited, however, as excessive data use may violate the Frontier terms and conditions.

Activation fee

All Frontier internet plans are subject to a one-time activation fee of $85.
