Frontier Extends Broadband Across Six States Via Connect America

Frontier Communications has extended its broadband footprint to reach thousands of new residential customers across six states via the Connect America Fund program, an initiative put in place by the FCC under Obama.

Frontier's broadband services are now reaching 25,000 additional households in Texas, 8,800 in Indiana, 7,000 in Illinois, 8,500 in Arizona and New Mexico, and 8,000 in Minnesota.

The Connect America initiative offers subsidized broadband for households located in rural areas.
