Frontier currently offers fiber internet in most of the 25 states it serves, including California, Texas, Florida, New York, Minnesota, and others. The company only offered 2-gig and 5-gig options previously, but now customers who live in Frontier’s service area will get access to the 7-gig plan. The plan comes with symmetrical 7Gbps upload and download speeds, along with unlimited monthly data and an upgraded Wi-Fi 7 router.
Oddly, while Frontier is the first to roll out 7Gbps nationwide (sort of), it’s definitely not the cheapest super high-speed internet. Google Fiber has a $150 / month 8Gbps plan, but it’s only available in select cities, such as San Antonio, Texas; Salt Lake City, Utah; and Mesa, Arizona. (Google is also experimenting with a $250 / month 20-gig plan in certain areas.) Additionally, Optimum has a $300 / month 8-gig plan as well, but you can only get it in the New York tristate area.
Other internet service providers continue to expand their fiber offerings, with AT&T bringing its up to 5-gig plans to more places in California and Comcast adding to its gigabit-speed fiber footprint while also rolling out cable internet with 2-gig uploads and downloads.
