Pure fiber internet built from the ground up — gigabit symmetrical speeds where others offer cable
Frontier Business is undergoing one of the largest fiber overbuilds in U.S. history — replacing legacy copper with symmetrical fiber-to-the-premises across California, Texas, Florida, and 23 other states. For businesses in Frontier markets who've been stuck on DSL or aging copper, Frontier's fiber build-out is delivering gigabit symmetrical internet that cable providers physically can't match. As Frontier completes its network transformation, it's becoming the fastest pure-fiber alternative in dozens of markets.
Frontier Communications (emerging from bankruptcy in 2021 under new management) has committed $6+ billion to replace its entire legacy copper network with fiber-to-the-premises. This fiber overbuild targets 10 million locations by 2025 across 25 states — the largest pure-fiber rural and suburban deployment in U.S. history. Frontier Business serves small and medium businesses with symmetrical fiber internet, hosted voice, and SD-WAN services. In markets where Frontier fiber has been deployed, their product consistently outperforms cable competitors on upload speed and latency — a meaningful advantage for VoIP, VDI, and cloud-heavy workloads.
Deployment model: Fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP); 25-state footprint undergoing fiber overbuild. Pricing model: Per-location monthly; annual contracts standard. Typical price range: $80–$350/month (Business Fiber); dedicated circuits custom quote. Pricing is negotiable at volume — Compare Select benchmarks quotes against real transacted deals before you sign.
True fiber-to-the-premises with matching upload and download speeds — 500 Mbps symmetric, 1 Gbps symmetric, 2 Gbps symmetric. Upload speed matters for cloud backup, VoIP, and video conferencing.
Frontier's $6B+ fiber investment is actively expanding coverage — markets that had DSL six months ago may have gigabit fiber today. Compare Select tracks Frontier's build schedule for your locations.
Fiber-to-the-premises delivers consistently lower latency than cable or DSL — important for real-time applications like VoIP, Zoom, and VDI sessions.
Business internet plans include static IP addresses — essential for VPN hosting, remote access, email servers, and any application requiring a consistent public IP.
| Alternative | How it compares |
|---|---|
| AT&T Business | AT&T has more mature enterprise service and broader footprint. Frontier wins on pure fiber availability in markets where AT&T hasn't built FTTP. |
| Comcast Business | Comcast has broader availability and more enterprise features. Frontier wins on symmetrical upload speeds where fiber is deployed — a real advantage for upload-intensive workloads. |
Frontier's fiber overbuild is actively expanding — an address that wasn't serviceable 90 days ago may be live today. Compare Select maintains current Frontier fiber build status and can check your specific addresses. We'll also identify alternative ISPs for locations not yet on fiber.
