How much does Frontier cost?

Frontier internet plans start at around $30 per month and reach about $140 a month. At the low end, you could get 200 Mbps of fiber internet for $30 for 12 months.

If you sign up for 5 gigs, $140 will give you incredibly fast fiber internet. This is enough speed for even the largest households who love to be online all the time. If you crunch the numbers, that feels like a ton of value. That’s just $0.03 per Mbps.

If you don't have a large household or you don't have multiple people engaging in download activities (like streaming, video calls, real-time gaming), then you'd be fine signing up for less speed. Frontier’s 1 Gbps plan at around $65 might be the best choice for some household. The Frontier fiber plan with the best value overall is the 2 gig plan (2,000 Mbps) starting at just $99.99 a month.

How Frontier stacks up on value

Frontier’s DSL plans are about the same cost as other DSL providers like CenturyLink. But if you’re considering DSL, you’re likely in a rural area.

Frontier’s fiber plans are a a fantastic deal and value, especially for the first 12 months of service.

What current Frontier customers are saying about price

We gathered and analyzed reviews from more than 40 current Frontier customers. Most people think the service is great. A few customers are unhappy with how often Frontier—like many other providers—changes its pricing, which leaves customers having to constantly shop around instead of sticking with a provider they know they like.

Cancelation costs for Frontier

Canceling your Frontier service is about as easy as it gets. There are no contracts or service agreements, and thus no early termination fees to worry about. In some cases, there may be a $20 equipment restock fee for fiber equipment and a $50 restock fee on DSL equipment.

You'll have to talk to a live human to cancel, but you can either wait on hold or schedule a call. The rep is likely to try to talk you into staying, but once you confirm cancelation, they will give you information about how to return your rented gear.

Cancelation fee
Free, but a $20–$50 equipment restocking fee may apply
