Effectively, your recourse is to cancel service with no early termination fee, but you will need to be prepared to argue the point. The company must also give you written notice of the changes, and you have a 30 day window from that date to opt out (cancel service) with NO penalties for doing so.

Frontier's maximum speeds are determined by the individual Frontier owned telephone companies. In larger cities, no speed change has been made, but in some more rural areas where competition barely/doesn't exist, the company is cashing in on their de facto monopoly status.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21921708 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 18:51:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21903953
I guess Frontier recently got bought out by yet ANOTHER company recently, and it seems the new owners are screwing with everything.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21903953 Thu, 12 Feb 2009 01:46:25 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21891892 price protection guarantee" aka contract as a positive

lol :uhh: how out of touch with reality this company is]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21891892 Tue, 10 Feb 2009 00:40:08 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21888977
Does this sound right? What would be the reason to commit to them for 2 years if there is no financial advantage to doing so?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21888977 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:32:21 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21593673
I'm about 4500 feet from the CO in my neighborhood and I get a consistent 4.5-5.5 MB/sec. Pretty much what I've had since 2001.

With the winter weather, you may want to have them run a line test. In addition, if you are behind a router/firewall and running a software firewall, that could be causing speed issue as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21593673 Tue, 16 Dec 2008 21:36:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573189
"You see, this is the trouble with Frontier...besides their two year committment , they also can't seem to get the information that they provide on the website correct."

Not to mention, for the many, many years we have had service with them, I dont think there has been one time I have ever been able to completely make sense of reading one of the monthly bills....:(
I just aslways give up and pay it...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573189 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:19:49 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573107 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573107 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 19:01:43 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573078 A couple weeks ago, my Mom called in to Frontier about making a payment, and while she was on the phone, the guy, just out of the blue told her he could lower her monthly payment...He never said why or how, so she said yeah, sure.

I bet what they did was to cancel our old account which we were locked into, inluding the 6M tier, and get us on the "new" lower speed tier, which seems to be the only one they offer now. Because we never had voicemail before, and right after she called, we had it, and couldnt understand why we got it all of a sudden.

So, in other words, they are tricking people who are on the 6M tier to go with the lower tier.
So if you wnat to keep your 6M speeds, BEWARE! DONT let them talk you into lowering your bill without telling you EXACTLY what they are offering.

Frontier has just hit a new low...as if the new proprosed cap werent enough!

Well, if they do hit me with the 5GB cap, its sayonara Frontier...Unfortunately that means I have to lose my internet completely, as they dont offer D/U any more, and I cant afford satelite.

Hell, maybe we'll dump the home phone line too, and I'll get a cell...My Mom already has one...so screw Frontier.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21573078 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:57:04 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21572985 Not even a month ago, I did a speed test, and it was around 4.5-5M....
Lately my connection seems slower...So I just did another speed test, and I'm down to around 2.4-2.6M...
I'm thinking no way am I gonna pay for MAX at that low a speed...
Soooo...I go to the Frontier Packages to see if we somehow got dropped down to regular DSL...and low and behold, the only DSL service they advertise now is one speed: DSL MAX at 1-3MB....they dont even guarantee 3M at that price...

What gives?
is this how they are gonna enforce/control the 5GB cap? By cutting everyones bandwidth in half?!?!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Frontier-just-cut-MAX-speed-from-6Mb-to-3Mb-21572985 Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:40:18 EDT
