   Last September Frontier ran fiber in my neighborhood.   
      
   This month their telemarketers have been calling me daily with a   
   script informing me that "This call is being recorded, copper being   
   replaced by fiber."   
      
   I like the technology, and the synchronous speeds. I'm not sure where   
   they would place the ONT since all electrical, cable and telco lines   
   come into the side of the a house with finished rooms, and no basement   
   or garage for the install. Where would they get the power for the ONT?   
   Really don't want it in my finished home office.   
      
   I don't like telemarketers telling me that my last POTS copper fed   
   phone line will be replaced by fiber (in the 80's I had 5 phone lines   
   to cover home, business and BBS and the cables are still running from   
   the pole to my house even though Frontier promised to remove the   
   deadheads years ago.).   
      
   I still have a bad taste in my mouth dealing with terminating my   
   Frontier DSL service at the end of contract. Took them months to get   
   it right.   
      
   I don't like Frontiers recent implementation of a $50 charge for   
   returning equipment at service termination. Returning the cable modem   
   to Spectrum is free, just drive down to their local office and drop it   
   off.   
      
   I wonder what other fees and surcharges they will add over the life of   
   the contract?   
      
   I also don't want to lock myself into a contract and early contract   
   termination fees.   
      
   Wife and I are thinking of downsizing and relocating but not sure   
   when.   
      
   We were once surrounded by farmland. Today we are surrounded by car   
   lots, warehouses, and gas/oil fired electric power plants.   
      
   I don't see any signs that my neighbors are signing up for Frontier's   
   fiber service. Shame Frontier has to take a good thing and bury it in   
   terms and conditions.
