    After upgrading to a 2 Gig internet speed, it would run at 2 Gig for a day or 2 and then drop down to 90 something megabytes. After 2 months and 30 something calls and a new EERO router, with the same result, I was lucky enough to speak to a tech named JULES who fixed my speed that I just tested at 2.64 D and 2.63 U. It has held up for 2 weeks and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Jules. CE Plano, TX.

      My Experience with Frontier Retention -PHENOMENAL - KERRY G. Kerry G, with Frontier is smoking hot awesome for the customer service of the retention dept. It took me forever to get to her and they hide their phone numbers and want you to use apps, but after multiple frustrating people and 2 hours of my time, Kerry took care of everything with the approval of her manager.

      Kerry was incredibly helpful. I've been with Frontier for less than a month. Probably 3 weeks. I canceled it because it does not redirect to websites. With that said, these sites are all https: and I have never had a problem with TWC, Sparklight or DSL. I have 2 IMACS that are old with old software, 1 IMAC initially on the older version of Sequoia but then upgraded to try to make this service work. I have 10 laptops for business all on Windows 10.1 and 1 on Windows 8.1 and a MacBook Pro on old software. Not one of these machines was able to access www.frankbuckzoo.com or www.athleteguild.com.

      With that said, I cleaned out the DNS cache on my IMac, tracerted one of the sites, pinged it and used the actually IP address while I was talking to the owner of the site, a registration company. None of it worked. Frontier said they had problems in the past with redirecting, but these are all secure sites. Then they tried to tell me it was security settings. 11 laptops on Windows, 3 IMACS, and an MacBook Pro which all have different settings. Kerry was phenomenal in that she waived the cancellation fee, waived the restock fee and I told her I was happy to pay the $49.99, as I had used their service. All in all, a very positive interaction. SHE IS A ROCKSTAR AND SHOULD BE GIVEN A RAISE!

      I switched to Frontier, and had my install this a.m. in Vernon, CT. 5 STARS to Trevor, the tech who came out and did the install. Professional. Knowledgeable. Polite. Most of all, was able to guide me through the set up so ALL of my devices (I think, 12), connected automatically, with no hiccups or issues. Fingers crossed that the streaming service lives up to the hype... but, I can't say enough good about Trevor and his role in getting things up and running. Thanks Trevor!

      After 1.5 hours on the phone with about five unqualified customers service individuals finally I was transferred to Michele who was wonderful and in no time gave me a ticket number and set appointment for the service I needed. Frontier needs more employees qualified like Michele and you will never have people cancel service with Frontier. Elena G. from Oxnard California

      If I could leave zero stars, I would. I have this service for about a year before they raised my rate by about 20% for absolutely no reason. I called to try to discuss it with them and apparently they told me it was because all of a sudden I was getting better service. How? I don’t know. Absolutely nothing changed so then I called to cancel. Of course when I called to cancel, they mysteriously offered to put me back at the same rate that I was before but at this point, I was so frustrated and I had already called the switch to T-Mobile so I told them no just cancel. Well then when I did cancel, they charged me a $50 cancellation fee because apparently this company is only interested in taking my money any way they possibly can. Do not do business with them no matter what you do because they are crooked.

      Price has become expensive, Customer Service has been decent to good, tech servicing good, time to get a tech good to bad. Biggest issue when they find out your using your own router they drop the service speed. I took pictures when I first setup my hardware and now a month after where they dropped speeds in half. Switch back to their hardware and speeds are back to normal.

      I was a Frontier customer for several years, having their internet service for my home. Because of my location, Frontier was one of the only providers in my area. The expected internet speeds were relatively slow (up to 25 Mbps) but in reality, we had less speed than that regularly. One of the most frustrating things we experienced was when the system went down, which it did often, there was no alert or notice of when to expect it back up. I canceled my subscription and switched to Starlink, a dramatic improvement. I canceled my subscription one day after the new monthly bill was generated/processed and was told I would receive a reimbursement for the monthly charge. Months went by but no reimbursement.

      After calling today, I was told that Frontier (via theirTerms and Conditions) charges the full monthly payment for any amount of use during that month, therefore I was not eligible for the reimbursement of my monthly fee ($89.99). So much for being a loyal customer. Never again. Watch out for those surprise endings because afterall, who reads the terms and conditions except their attorneys.

      Billing due dates are non existent with this company. They send an email to tell you when it's due, but cut you off days before. The agents if you can reach them don't want to restore service even if you paid. This morning the agent simply stopped responding at all. They have yet to update my new email address within the system completely, they're still sending my payment confirmation to my old email. When I tell them they say it's been updated. But when I pay online it's still sending it to the old email. I can't troubleshoot with the eero app because they won't update my email so I can use it. Called multiple times to have this fixed. I'm about to explore my options at this point.
