Frontier puts its best foot forward by offering unlimited data on all of its plans. Many internet providers place unnecessary restrictions on how much you can use the internet, and these data caps can be a real pain in the patootie.
But Frontier’s fatal flaw is its outdated DSL network. Rather than updating those areas from their original DSL technology to superior fiber-optic cables, Frontier went with the “make money now” route of eeking out as much life from the DSL lines as it could.
This short-sighted plan caused problems for a lot of customers and eventually led to Frontier’s bankruptcy in 2020. The internet company lives on, and it has promised its investors it will clean up its act and finally install the fiber-optic cables its customers deserve (and should make more money for Frontier in the long run).
That process of building new fiber infrastructure is currently underway, although maybe not as quickly as we’d like, so check with Frontier to see if it’s recently switched your area from DSL to fiber.

Fiber Frontier offers internet service in 25 states now, but its most prominent in California, Florida, Indiana, and Texas.
Frontier Fiber 500 is our top Frontier pick because it comes with super fast download and upload speeds thanks to Frontier’s fiber internet network. This Frontier Fiber internet deal is among the most affordable of its kind in the US.
If you want to go even faster, the Fiber 1 Gig, 2 Gig, and 5 Gig plans have some of the fastest download and upload speeds available to homes today.
But if Frontier offers only DSL internet in your area, you’ll need to call Frontier to find out what speeds are available for your home.

Frontier doesn’t offer TV packages, but you can create your own bundle by also subscribing to a standalone live TV plan.
For Frontier customers, we recommend signing up for YouTube TV. Not only is it our favorite live TV streaming service, but Frontier customers can now get $10 off their subscription every month for their first year. That’s a total savings of $120.
With YouTube TV, you’ll get 100+ live channels, including sports, news, and entertainment. You can share your subscription with your family (up to six accounts), and no more fighting over the remote—YouTube TV allows three simultaneous streams per subscription. Check out our YouTube TV review for more details on why we love the service.
So how much is this Frontier + YouTube TV bundle? A YouTube TV subscription is normally $72.99 a month, but with the Frontier promotion it’ll run you $62.99 a month for the first year. Just add that price to your Frontier internet plan—for example, the Fiber 500 + YouTube TV bundle will cost $112.98 per month and the Fiber 1 Gig bundle will cost $132.98 per month.
