Frontier promotes more broadband in Midwest

Apparently the folks at Frontier are on the road in the Midwest letting folks know that they are planning to upgrade service to many of the Verizon customer that they have inherited through acquisition. According to Connected Planet

Leading the trek is John Lass, Frontier’s Central Region president, who told Connected Planet that while the former Verizon properties it acquired delivers broadband speed Internet access to just about 60% of customers today, Frontier aims to bump that to 85% as quickly as possible. The company plans to deliver 3MB/s access to most residential customers, and has options to deliver more bandwidth in some areas, particularly to business customers, Frontier’s Lass said. Frontier has already rolled out broadband-speed Internet service to 92% of its existing customer base, he noted.

In July, Frontier acquired networks and customers in 14 states – including parts of Minnesota.
