Searched and didn't see this. Got an email today that Verizon bought Frontier. Apparently, the deal closed on 1/19. Not sure if its good or bad but it can't be worse than the internet service I got from Frontier (Fiber). I guess we'll see.

Article (1 of many)

More consolidation in the industry. I signed on to Metronet to be on the pre order of their fiber optic internet service. I get an email from t mobile that they just bought metronet.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

I have fought with Verizon so many times that I can’t call this a good thing.



Politicians seem to have forgotten that they work for us, not the other way around.

Didn't Verizon shift their land line (POTS) service to Frontier a few years ago? And now they're back?

Yeah, I thought they were under the same umbrella and then Frontier was spun off.

Verizon sold many of their State landline operations to Frontier about 20 years ago.

Now Verizon appears to be buying Frontier.

Verizon and Frontier belong each other...neither one cares about customer service.

Both truly despicable companies, glad I don't have to deal with either any longer.


No car is as much fun to drive, as any motorcycle is to ride.

Yep. And now they bought them back. They are like a yo-yo.

I have Frontier POTS at home for back up because cell service is terrible out here. WiFi calling works, but not during a power outage. I'm guessing this might mean the end of POTS altogether in our area. They will want to switch everyone to VOIP which doesn't really offer any advantage over WiFi.

This is a shell game.

Frontier Communications acquired significant landline, broadband, and TV assets from Verizon in two major, separate deals in 2010 and 2016, rather than buying the entire corporation originally. In 2010, Frontier bought Verizon's wireline operations in 14 states for $8.6 billion. In 2016, Frontier acquired Verizon’s operations in California, Florida, and Texas for $10.5 billion.

Verizon is acquiring Frontier Communications in an all-cash transaction valued at $20 billion, including the assumption of debt.

Someone made some good money on this.
