    Good news, speaking of, moving from Spectrum to Frontier soon. Anyone care to comment on their services? Frontier is already looking faster on uploads, downloads and pricing. Concerned there’s a hidden negative lurking around the corner lol.

      Frontier is good when it’s fiber. Frontier is bad when it’s DSL. Depends on what they offer to your area.

        I will say yeah - if it’s fiber, you’ll be okay.

        Or worse if the only internet connection you can get in your area is dial-up.

      I can’t speak for elsewhere, but Frontier’s speeds around here are shit and they have a lot of down time. They’re a worse option than Spectrum. They’re what people turn to when Spectrum shuts them off for non-payment.
