new Frontier Broadband service
EVERETT, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR), the largest provider
of communications services focused on rural America, today announced
that Frontier Satellite Broadband is available in a number of rural
markets in northwest Washington state. This satellite-based broadband
service, Frontier Broadband, will deliver dramatically
increased speed and capacity to several hundred thousand households and
small businesses within markets previously unserved or underserved by
any broadband provider, including cable.
Frontier Broadband products are supported by highly-trained, 100
percent U.S.-based local installation, customer service and support
teams. According to Rich Klena, Frontier Senior Vice President and
General Manager for Oregon and Washington, “We are extremely pleased to
bring broadband service to very remote customers in Frontier’s serving
areas of western Washington. This new service allows rural America to
increase commerce, provide distance learning, health care access,
provide streaming video, entertainment programs and general high speed
internet access- and is a real game-changer for those hard-to-reach
communities we serve.”
Frontier Broadband leverages the Hughes EchoStar XVII Satellite
with JUPITER™ High-Throughput Technology that was successfully launched
on July 5, 2012, and which enables HughesNet Gen4 satellite Internet
services for Frontier Broadband customers. HughesNet Gen4
offers dramatically increased performance and capacity, including
support for high-bandwidth applications.
Frontier Broadband pricing ranges from $52.00 to $145.48 per
month depending on personal speed requirements, contract plans and the
need for any additional equipment. Rich Klena went on to say, “This
product shows Frontier’s commitment to bringing broadband to our
customers, including those in some of the most remote rural areas of the
nation. Broadband is a necessity that enhances every aspect of life. FrontierBroadband is the most recent example of our broadband expansion
plan. We continue to look for new ways to bring broadband to as many
customers as we can; it is our commitment to our customers.”
