This is NOT an April Fool’s post.
Frontier Communications officially took over landline operations from Verizon today, April 1, 2016 in Florida, Texas and California. This includes Verizon’s FIOS service.
- Read more about the Frontier at their website: MeetFrontier.com.
- A good background article on the transfer of services to Frontier can be found in this Tampa Bay Times web post.
There have been reported outages all day today, including an unrelated fiber cut in Tampa, per this post from ArsTechnica.
All I can say is that if you are impacted, hang in there! Or try calling Frontier’s customer service at (800) 921-8101.
