Frontier now operates as a “Verizon company” after Verizon’s purchase of the fiber internet provider was approved in January 2026.The acquisition was first announced in late 2024, but both providers had to overcome several regulatory hurdles until the purchase could be finalized.Now, Frontier’s fiber network is fully integrating with Verizon’s own Fios network, expanding Verizon’s service footprint to encompass almost 30 million fiber passings across 31 states. Before purchasing Frontier, Verizon’s fiber footprint was limited, covering small service areas primarily in the northeastern U.S.
The provider’s purchase of Frontier is a major step in Verizon’s expansion strategy, which also leverages its 5G network that powers Verizon’s 5G home internet service. What this means for existing Frontier customers If you’re currently subscribed to a Frontier plan, don’t worry.According to Verizon, there will be no changes to your existing Frontier service, and there’s nothing you need to do.Your current plan price will remain the same, as will your fiber speeds, but as a perk, you’ll now be eligible for Verizon’s exclusive deals, which can save you money. The only thing to keep in mind is that you’ll now technically be a Verizon Fios customer, not a Frontier customer.
While you retain your Frontier fiber service, where you manage your account may change, but you’ll receive information on that (if you haven’t already) from both Verizon and Frontier.
