Frontier is the absolute worst company to deal with. We are in a rural area and stuck with frontier DSL. Haphazard & dishonest billing, and customer service reps that have no problem lying to just get you off the phone. Our DSL speed is just above old dial up speeds, and they will not fix the lines out here to make it work as advertised. They have no problem increasing the price for the service though.
