As of January 20, 2026, Frontier is officially a Verizon company. Current Frontier customers keep their existing plans and speeds but gain immediate access to Verizon Mobile + Home discounts, including $15/month savings on internet bills and up to 6 months of free fiber service for new mobile switchers. The merger expands the combined fiber footprint to nearly 30 million homes across 31 states, creating a national “Fiber Powerhouse” to rival AT&T.
What Current Frontier Customers Need to Know
If you are already with Frontier, the transition is designed to be “invisible” to your daily service but “visible” in your savings.
-
No Service Disruptions: Verizon has confirmed that your fiber speeds, existing plan prices, and equipment will remain the same. You do not need to swap your router or take any technical action.
-
The Rebranding: Over the coming months, “Frontier Fiber” will likely transition into the Verizon Fios brand name. Your billing portal may change, but both companies are committed to a seamless move.
-
Unlocked Perks: The biggest immediate change is your eligibility for Verizon’s ecosystem. You can now link your Frontier account with a Verizon Wireless account to unlock “exclusive member” pricing.
The “Convergence” Deal: Why Mid-Stage Buyers Should Act Now
If you are currently shopping for internet, the “Mid-Stage” (where you’re comparing providers) is the best time to be in. In March 2026, the promotional offers are more aggressive than ever to celebrate the merger.
The “6 Months Free” Offer
New customers who switch to a qualifying Verizon Mobile plan can currently get 6 months of Frontier Fiber (up to 1 Gig) for $0/month. After six months, standard rates apply, but the initial savings exceed $300.
The $15/Month Bundle Discount
By combining any Frontier Fiber plan ($20+) with a Verizon Postpaid mobile plan, you get an automatic $15/month credit on your internet bill. Over a year, that’s $180 back in your pocket.
Frontier vs. Verizon Fios: 2026 Price & Speed Comparison
While the companies are now one, they still offer slightly different plan structures depending on whether you are in a “Legacy Fios” area (Northeast) or a “New Frontier” area (Midwest/West).
