Summary
Frontier Communications
isp residential eyeball dsl fiber
Frontier Communications (FRONTIER-FRTR) is a large US residential and small-business ISP,
running legacy DSL alongside a growing fibre footprint.
What it's used for
- Home internet across many US states: DSL over former incumbent copper plus expanding FTTH fibre.
Notable
- An "eyeball" network: addresses here are US home connections, not servers.
- Frontier grew by acquiring rural and suburban telephone lines (including former Verizon and AT&T territories) and is now investing heavily in fibre after a Chapter 11 restructuring.
Interesting
- Its mix of aging copper DSL and new fibre makes Frontier's footprint unusually uneven, varying block-by-block across its many acquired service areas.
