Frontier Business
All-fiber business internet and dedicated internet across a 25-state footprint, now owned by Verizon. Often one of the more competitive dedicated quotes where it is on-net, with a 99.99% availability SLA.
The short answer
Frontier Business sells two fiber products. Business Fiber is shared, symmetrical internet from 500 Mbps to 5 Gbps on month-to-month billing with a two-year price lock, advertised from $49.99 a month in October 2026. Dedicated Internet Access (DIA) is an unshared circuit up to 100 Gbps with a 99.99% availability SLA and a 4-hour mean time to repair. On a 36-month term, DIA typically runs $400 to $475 a month at 100 Mbps and $725 to $875 at 1 Gbps. Verizon closed its acquisition of Frontier on January 20, 2026, and Frontier says existing pricing, terms and conditions remain in effect.

Carrier overview
What Frontier Business offers
Business Fiber Internet is Frontier's small-business product: symmetrical fiber plans at 500 Mbps, 1 Gig, 2 Gig and 5 Gig, all with Wi-Fi 7 eero routers included, a two-year price lock on new plans and month-to-month billing that can be cancelled any time. As advertised in October 2026, plans run $49.99 to $119.99 a month with autopay, or $29.99 to $99.99 a month with a qualifying Verizon Business mobile plan. Verizon's terms note a $50 activation fee, and a charge of up to $500 per device for unreturned equipment.
Dedicated Internet Access is the enterprise product: a non-shared connection at speeds up to 100 Gbps (availability limited), sold for single or multiple locations. Frontier publishes 99.99% circuit availability and a 4-hour mean time to repair, with 24/7/365 network monitoring, BGP support for redundancy, AI-driven DDoS protection and MEF Carrier Ethernet 2.0 certification. Frontier's enterprise group also sells Ethernet multi-site connectivity, voice and SD-WAN.
Where they are strongest
Frontier's enterprise site says it is building fiber "across 25 states," with over 7 million passings toward a goal of more than 10 million homes and businesses. In many secondary cities and suburban business parks, it is one of the few fiber options at all. On price, our benchmarks put Frontier DIA below the market average at both 100 Mbps and 1 Gbps.
Now that Frontier is "Frontier, a Verizon Company," the combined fiber footprint reaches roughly 30 million passings across 31 states and Washington, D.C. For buyers, that means more addresses where Frontier and Verizon Business are both worth asking.
How we quote them
We quote Frontier Business Fiber for smaller sites that can live without an SLA, and Frontier DIA for sites that need one. Before a Frontier quote goes next to anyone else's, we confirm:
Business Fiber or DIA. Business Fiber is shared, best-effort service with no availability SLA. DIA is dedicated with a 99.99% SLA. The monthly price gap is large for a reason.
Which entity is quoting. During the integration, depending on the product and market, Frontier service may be quoted under Frontier or through Verizon Business. We confirm which entity will contract and bill before you sign, and where both reach the address, we request both and compare on the same term. See What the Verizon acquisition of Frontier means for business contracts.
Promotional terms. Frontier's DIA promotions have required 36 or 60 month terms, and the Business Fiber price lock covers only the base monthly rate for 24 months. We note when a price depends on a promotion.

Product comparison
Frontier DIA vs Frontier Business Fiber
Dedicated Internet Access | Business Fiber Internet | |
|---|---|---|
Bandwidth | Non-shared, dedicated | Shared fiber |
Speeds | Up to 100 Gbps (limited availability) | 500 Mbps to 5 Gbps, symmetrical |
SLA | 99.99% circuit availability, 4-hour MTTR | No availability SLA (Frontier lists shared broadband at 99.9% availability with best-effort repair) |
Routing | BGP supported | Not listed |
Term | 36 or 60 months on promotional pricing | Month to month, two-year price lock |
Typical monthly, 1 Gbps | $725 to $875 (36-month term) | $69.99 advertised, October 2026 |
If a slow afternoon costs you money, buy DIA. If it does not, Business Fiber with a wireless backup is usually the better spend.
Alternatives
When another carrier fits better
We quote Frontier wherever it is lit, and we also tell clients when it is not the right pick:
You need a 100% availability SLA in writing. Verizon Business and AT&T Business publish 100% availability objectives on dedicated internet. Frontier publishes 99.99%.
Multi-state or national networks. Frontier's own fiber is concentrated in its 25 states. For a national WAN on one contract, AT&T Business, Lumen or Verizon cover more of the map.
Sites outside Frontier fiber. Where Frontier is not on-net, a cable carrier such as Spectrum Business or Comcast Business is often already in the building.
A diverse backup to a Verizon primary. Frontier and Verizon are now one company. Treat a Frontier circuit as the same carrier when you design for diversity, and check the route. See Your backup circuit is probably on the same fiber path.
Typical pricing
What dedicated internet usually costs here
Below the market average at both tiers, and consistently one of the more competitive dedicated quotes in its 25-state footprint. Typical install is about eleven weeks.
| Tier | Typical monthly | Market average |
|---|---|---|
| 100 Mbps | $400 – $475 | ≈ $500 |
| 1 Gbps | $725 – $875 | ≈ $900 |
Contract notes
What changed, and what did not, when Verizon bought Frontier
Closing date. Verizon's acquisition of Frontier closed effective January 20, 2026. Frontier is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Verizon, and integration is expected to continue through the end of 2026.
Existing terms stay in force. Frontier's customer notice says current pricing, terms and conditions "remain fully intact," and that day-to-day relationships, points of contact, products and support access are unchanged for now.
Changes come with notice. Frontier says it will notify customers before any changes to support teams, products, systems or service processes. Keep your contact details current in the Frontier portal so the notice reaches the right person.
Billing is still Frontier. Verizon's welcome page says Frontier accounts are still paid and managed through the Frontier portal.
Business Fiber price lock. The two-year lock covers the base monthly rate only. After month 24, rates move to the then-current price.

Frequently asked questions
Is Frontier Business now part of Verizon?
Yes. Verizon closed its acquisition of Frontier on January 20, 2026. Frontier operates as "Frontier, a Verizon Company," and existing Frontier business accounts are still billed and supported through Frontier for now.
Will my Frontier business contract change because of Verizon?
Frontier says current pricing, terms and conditions remain in effect, and that it will notify customers before any change to products, systems or support. Your signed term and rates carry on until the agreement says otherwise. If a renewal is coming up, quote both Frontier and Verizon before you sign.
How much does Frontier dedicated internet cost?
On a 36-month term, Frontier DIA typically runs $400 to $475 a month at 100 Mbps and $725 to $875 at 1 Gbps, below the market average at both tiers. Frontier does not publish DIA pricing; the address decides it.
What SLA does Frontier dedicated internet have?
Frontier publishes 99.99% circuit availability and a 4-hour mean time to repair for DIA, with 24/7/365 monitoring. Its shared broadband is listed at 99.9% availability with best-effort repair.
What is the difference between Frontier Business Fiber and Frontier DIA?
Business Fiber is shared, symmetrical fiber from 500 Mbps to 5 Gbps on month-to-month billing, with no availability SLA. DIA is a dedicated circuit up to 100 Gbps with a 99.99% availability SLA, BGP support and a term contract. DIA costs several times more per month.
Does Frontier Business Fiber require a contract?
No. Frontier says its small business fiber plans are billed month to month and can be cancelled any time. New plans carry a two-year price lock on the base monthly rate, and an activation fee and equipment-return terms apply.
How long does a Frontier dedicated internet install take?
About eleven weeks is typical across the quotes we benchmark. On-net buildings can be faster. If you have a hard move-in date, tell us up front and we will quote the carriers that can meet it.
