Frontier's Fiber to Home Project Starts

Hmmm. So if I want their service at our home in urban Santa Barbara they will charge me just about half of what our sunset telephone provider charges us for eight dsl lines in the rural Deep South a few miles outside the “big city” with a population of 5000. They advertise this service as have about half the speed of our eight stacked dsl lines. Not such an attractive deal as most Deep South urban concentrations with populations similar to Santa Barbara/Goleta have multiple providers offering entry level broadband for under twenty bucks a month and you can find plans at ten bucks a month if all you want is to stream one low quality movie at a time.

Yes, to the naysayers. There are signs at peabody school for work to be done on the cable I saw wrapped up for 5 years.

it literally said "frontier fiber placement" on the no parking sign. its coming

ive switched to this, have only good things to say about it. I live on the ocean side of cliff drive on the west end of the mes., After years of slow internet, i
I cannot believe the difference. This change did entail switching the phone to voip, with the result being clearer sounding service and a combined phone and internet for less than half the monthly cost we were paying before. Easy to have two zooms running at the same time as the roku streaming for TV , etc, etc. If you are lucky enough to be where you can get it, i recommend it. switching took about a one hour service call, to run the fiber from the pole to the house and install a box and a router. no need for cables either. Very fast.New Wifi really good. Feel lucky to live on a street that had fiber on the phone poles- waited 1 day after making the call.
Unbelievable!! I guess the downside is i'll have to find something else to either use as an excuse or direct my ire at.

I looked at Frontier's pricing and its about the same as Cox. Is their service that much better? and speed?

I cannot wait for this service. They've been working in my neighborhood for a while. Cox is the absolute worst. The internet cuts out several times a week and I have to reboot the modem constantly. I've had techs out and all they do is look around at the wiring and sometimes replace the modem which does nothing. Cox has had a monopoly too long. I pay $75 per month for 150mb down and 10 up. That's not even unlimited data. They charge more any time I go over. Frontier has a 940 mb down (wow!) for $70 per month with unlimited data. I cannot wait to tell Cox to pound sand. They are the worst.

I think it will take some time before I consider trusting these guys! I invested in their stock and watched them declare bankruptcy, completely losing all value of my stocks in the process. I also have several family members that have them in other states and the service is terrible. I hate Cox but until there is a legit, reliable, competitor I feel stuck.

Sounds great up till you check availability: "Sorry, we're having some technical difficulties. Call 877-891-4110 and one of our sales experts will help you complete your order." I just wanted to CHECK - NOT place an "Order", almost sounds like bait&switch?
