As you may see... about mid-June (the 14th?) they took the restrictions off or upgraded my line to well over 50 Mbps (upto 100, I believe). That is awesome and I can't believe they didn't make more hay out of this.
That said, however, as of June 28 3p, something went down on my network. When I spoke with tech support they couldn't get anyone out until July 1 to fix it. I can tell you the GPON on the outside of the house probably failed. Who the heck would put that outside in the Texas Heat? They should have mounted it inside the garage. Idiots.
Anyway, Frontier promised to send a tech-guy out on July 1. On July 1 I called at 11am and they said anytime from 8a to 5p, but they had no update yet. I called back at 2p, and they said by 5p. 5p no-one showed. I called at 5:01p and cancelled. (interesting side-note, Frontier offered to up my speed to 100 Mpbs at the same cost to keep my business, which is what they were already offering me.)
That day I went over to AT&T to sign-up for their Giga-Power / Uverse bundle at $145/m for 1 year (U300 + 1Gpbs). The ONLY reason I went back to AT&T is now they have FTTH in my area -- like FiOS -- rather than that crummy DSL they typically use.
We set-up an install date of July 10, the day after I get back from vacation. Let's see how it goes. Fingers crossed.
