Norwalk (CT)-based Frontier has yet to post any formal press release detailing the outages and service issues its new customers have suffered, but took ownership of the disruptions in an email statement to Hearst, in contrast to earlier statements by executives in the Florida region who maintained the company had accomplished the transition with no more disruption than one could expect a broadband company to incur as part of its normal operations. http://www.stamfordadvocate.com/business/article/Frontier-apologizes-to-new-Verizon-customers-7228984.php -- Bill Horne Moderator ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Wed, 06 Apr 2016
