I dunno,

That is the truest statement you have posted to date. You don't know, you refuse to understand and you LOOOOOVE to point-counter point. I will just speed along henceforth and not be bothered by you and your mortal speeds. Ciao! :o

A national phenomenon with any national company. Just because FiOS is in your area and Frontier isn't all that great in your area doesn't mean that in someone else's area FiOS isn't there and Frontier has good CS.

By the way, your speed test graphs on service that only FiOS provides (Frontier is 10/1 max, but you knew that) did nothing to clear up the real reason for your post. Sounded more like a brag to me, heh.

I dunno, when you're giving away service for a year, minus the modem rental fee, and selling 101 for $35 the next year, FTTH may not be a cost-effective step. Hence VZ being the only big company to do it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20589982 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:50:51 EDT Re: Oh Yeah?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20589919 spewak :

Umm, what point are you trying to make, spewak? You live in an area serviced by FiOS.

read the whole story. It isn't about what I can get and what I can't get, what another company can give or not, it is about FRONTIER and their lack of service to my area. DO YOU UNDERSTAND? :huh:

You live in an area serviced by FiOS. Awesome. Most of us don't, and it sounds like in some cases Frontier does a decent job with their service where you can't get FiOS. Roadrunner does a better job in some areas, worse in others. It's downright silly to say you have "one up" on someone else because you live where there is FiOS, and thus have it, and they don't.

I'd pay for the 2020 FiOS tier if it was around here. Maybe even more. But the fastest internet in this neck of the woods is 15/2 RR business or 12/1 WS business. Or for residential tiers, 8/768 RR or 12/768 WS. No wait, I'm outside of town so 2/512 would be $100 a month for me.

As I said, I'd get FiOS if I could, but it'll be ~2015 before that happens.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20589741 Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:09:34 EDT Re: Oh Yeah?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516570 Racerbob : OK...well as I said. First...I am not jealous. I have no use for the speed that you have. 20 megs won't make my web browsing any faster or enhance my internet experience. Second... the service where I live is very nice. I routinely see over 80% of my 10 meg download speed and that is fine by me. Furthermore, my current deal with Frontier has me paying $48 for the whole first year of my service. That is $48 for the whole year not per month. And then in year two, it goes to $34.98 a month. Yes, I took their phone service too, and that is locked in for two years at $19.99 a month plus the inevitable taxes. My TV service is through DirecTV. So we are both happy it seems. Frontier in this neck of the woods is at least trying to take steps to improve their services and after trying them twice before, this time it is 100 % better. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516570 Wed, 21 May 2008 10:08:56 EDT Re: Oh Yeah?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20516374 spewak :

Wow, thats cool. But no way would I pay $120 a month for that. I can wait a minute longer to download any of the large fles that I get...which aren't too many. $120 a month for internet ? You can have it.

You misunderstand. (I only pay $51 a month for the internet portion. Jealous much? :p)
First, I HAD the same problem as phantom77. Exactly the same problem. We live on the edge of their territory and they aren't interested in upgrading and installing RT's.
Second, I am paying $120 for the triple play bundle of: 20/20 internet, Digital tv, and digital phone (cali plan).
To be perfectly clear, I would have stayed with Frontier had it not been for them stalling on their service commitments from nearly two years ago to this area.
Good luck to you,
I have alot of speedy downloading to get to! ;)

I can see why you are anxious to get RR. We are just east of the bay and our part of Webster is not growing. We are in a neighborhood that is full of 45 year old homes. ( or older ) There are some very nice new and very expensive homes right near the bay and those are very near to us. Maybe Frontier is trying to please the rich folks that live there. My parents are down off of St. Paul near St. Thomas the Apostle. I haven't speed tested there lately, but I know that my dad was seeing somewhere aroung 4.5 to 5 megs with the up to 6 meg cap. I had heard that their CO was up around Norton St. somewhere. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20503385 Sun, 18 May 2008 20:17:31 EDT Re: Oh Yeah?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20502850 phantom77 : See what I mean. The highest i get is about 1500. I avg. about 1200. The techs did everything they could. It used to be half that, then they bumped it up, but then I would keep getting dropped because the equipment outside is old and cant handle it. I.E. no central office points. They aren't up in West Irondequoit w/ no plans in the near future to upgrade them either. I was told by them. I.m a block west of the House of Guitars, and the techs told me that since I'm right near the river gorge and relatively close to the lake I.m stuck in a corner that isn't of great importance. Tha''ts why you're flyin' there. Webster and Penfield etc... are growing, Irondequoit is full. And 60% senior citizens so it basically comes down do the demographics.. One good thing is though the customer service is awesome. When we first had it installed, a month later we got a second computer, they came out to hook up the wireless network, the guy pulls out a wireless card, I said "man I'm gonna run up to the bank." He says "why"? I say "because those things are like 40$". He goes" the ones in my van aren't". Then a year later they came out and put all new lines from the pole to the house and inside too. Then after that the speed was like 2 meg, but we were getting dropped all the time, so they had to do a repair near Hudson and Norton on the pole to stable us out at these pathetic speeds.

I remain 100% happy with Frontier and the speed I am seeing from them. The one month I had to try them out and the two year comittment that I have made is not an issue here for me. Speeds remain consistent and service is excellent. No trickery here. They initially delivered what they had promised.. 6 meg speeds. Then 3 days later they bumped the speed here to 10 megs.

Thats why the have the couple hundred dollar penalty for breaking you're contract. They'de be up the creek w/out that fine print. RR has no contracts. They dont need it. When you're selling Corvette's for the same price you're competion can only get and sell Chevette's for you dont need trickery.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20502481 Sun, 18 May 2008 16:33:52 EDT Re: Oh Yeah?? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20500883 spewak : That in a nutshell was my situation.
