In reply to the discussion: Yes, Your Internet Is Getting Slower [View all]dixiegrrrrl
(60,010 posts)5. Another disgruntled Frontier customer here.
Often charts are posted showing different ISP speeds, and Frontier is always in the bottom third place.
Online streaming is not available in Linux, so I have no gripe re: Frontier streaming.
