Best Frontier Fiber internet plans

Frontier internet review

Frontier offers fiber or DSL service, depending on your location. We scored Frontier internet service on a scale of 1 to 5 across four major categories. To learn more, see our methodology.

Frontier Fiber vs Frontier Internet

Overall, there’s a fairly significant difference between having access to Frontier Fiber and Frontier Internet (DSL). If Frontier Fiber is available to you, you will have access to better speeds (upload and download) and service. Starting prices may be slightly higher, but the value of the service will be superior.

Compare Frontier internet plans

Frontier has several fiber plans with speeds from 200 – 5,000 Mbps. Each plan has symmetrical download and upload speeds.

Frontier® Internet 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.

Frontier data caps

Some Frontier plans require a one-year contract, meaning you’ll have to pay early termination fees if you want to cancel service. Most plans increase after the first year and three years.

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.

Frontier fees

Frontier’s DSL installation fee is $85 and currently free for all Fiber plans.

Auto Pay Discount

When you enroll in Frontier’s Auto Pay, you get a $10/mo. discount with any Frontier plan.

Frontier internet vs. other top providers

If you have the option to choose between Frontier and another internet service provider, there are a few things you’ll want to consider, such as starting price, speeds, data limits and contracts. Frontier Fiber is one of the highest-ranked internet providers due to its fair pricing and download/upload speed range. If Frontier’s only service available to you is DSL, you may want to consider a different internet provider, depending on where you live.

Frontier customer reviews

Frontier received a 3.9/5 star rating from customers who participated in Allconnect’s 2024 broadband customer satisfaction survey. One customer noted, “We have only had Frontier for a few months, but couldn’t be more pleased. Coming from being a 20+ year Spectrum customer, I wish I had discovered Frontier sooner.”

The fiber and DSL internet company scores evenly across price, speed, reliability and customer service. Another respondent said, “Frontier is the only game in town so we can not compare. Since install, service from provider has been attentive but actual streaming, we have some issues with slow speed/ intermittent down times.” 

Featured reviews

Frontier customer satisfaction

Frontier Fiber scored a 76/100 for its fiber service and a 59 for its non-fiber services. The customer satisfaction scores for ISPs tend to be generally low – the highest score for fiber providers was AT&T’s 80/100.
