not so easy

IIRC Frontier uses PPPoA for ADSL; that will limit the selection of customer supplied equipment.

Slow speeds, POTS taxes, outrageous ETFs, now higher modem fees... WTG Frontier, you just increased your churn rate a few more notches!

Pretty sure that most modems can still do PPPoA, though you'll hae to do it on the modem rather than the router.

Here are a few bunches of modems you can get, starting at $50 for a basic one:

Thanks for the links, I saved one of the links just in case this Verizon to Frontier deal goes through and My 7500 modem/router is deemed not welcome and the 7500 is Mine, I own It outright as I don't pay any rental fee here for My DSL. As to their free wifi? They can keep It, As I already have wifi @ 108Mbps that I paid for out of My own pocket, So why would I need Frontiers or Verizons?

Admittedly I'm in a different continent but BT prefers that you use PPPoA to connect, and there's certainly no shortage of modems available. I don't think the UK is unique in this, either.

Despite BT preferring that you used PPPoA, they will quite happily let you connect with oE if you like. Is Frontier not the same?
