Frontier fires up network-wide 2-gigabit fiber internet service

Frontier stuck to a promise to roll out its first multi-gigabit service tier in Q1 of 2022, debuting a 2-gig internet offer that is available across its entire fiber footprint. The company plans to make the new service tier available to all of the new locations it builds to as its plan to expand to 10 million locations by the end of 2025 unfolds. The new plan is priced at $149.99 per month. While that’s significantly higher than the cost of similar plans from the likes of AT&T, Ziply Fiber and Google Fiber, which range from $100 to $120, Frontier is throwing in a bunch of extras to sweeten the deal. Among these are a 2-gig router and Wi-Fi extender, voice line and multi-device security at no extra charge. Frontier isn’t the first to debut a multi-gig offer – AT&T, Ziply, Google Fiber and Verizon have all rolled out 2-gig service plans. But Frontier is billing itself as the first to offer its multi-gig service across its entire footprint from day one. Verizon initially only rolled out its 2-gig offer in New York City, while Ziply and AT&T launched their multi-gig offers in 60 and 70 cities, respectively.
