Re: Oversold, over saturated Frontier offers me 3Mbps/384kbps which is what I've had ever since I was hooked up (one of the first to get hooked up too). Since the holidays, as of two weeks ago Frontier had ran out of bandwidth in our area. Thankfully, I was able to find out that they were in fact bringing in more bandwidth, and they did as I'm on an entirely new route now. The old route is still up and running as well as I'm not seeing my pings go up and speeds drop anymore 
So really, it seems as though Frontier wants people to enjoy the service and use it as unlimited, but yet it also seems like they can't make up their mind. In my case, they've been getting hook ups in my area basically every day despite cable internet being around, which is why we ran out of bandwidth in the first place.
So yeah, last move Frontier should ever consider is capping people. Especially with them having fiber optic cabling fueling their COs, there's no reason they should be thinking about caps. |

1 edit | I'll ask the Frontier guy who came to my home to check up on my connection the day after I called in about the former night time speed issues and find out what kind of connection the office in my area is using and was using before the upgrade. If it was a T3, it would have to be something that is fully fiber optic as even the RTs are fed by fiber optic cabling. Their main backbone itself is probably not a T3 though. Otherwise, I'd probably be seeing 2000+ latency on the line outside of the CO. |

kudos:1 | The T3 was *hopefully* a joke. Maybe its burstable to a gigabit, but only a T3's worth of GBs for each month lol. |

kudos:21 | I'm sure it was. If Frontier had a T3 for my area, I would have begun seeing issues a long time ago. |
