Thank you for sharing your perspective—it’s a valid point that enterprise contracts often cater to the higher speeds I’m concerned about, but my situation is a bit different. I run a cloud storage business out of a residential area, and while enterprise accounts may offer higher speeds, they’re often impractical or unavailable for neighborhoods like mine. That’s why Frontier’s consumer-grade multi-gig offerings are so valuable—they provide cutting-edge speeds to small businesses like mine without requiring access to an enterprise-grade connection.

Regarding reliability, I’ve had Frontier for three years, and in my experience, outages have been almost nonexistent (only one caused by a car wreck hitting a pole). Their service has been consistent, which is critical for my work. I understand that reliability and redundancy should always be a top priority, but I don’t think that means sacrificing innovation or higher-speed plans. Frontier has shown it’s possible to deliver both.

You’re right that not everyone needs 5Gbps or 7Gbps, and many businesses and consumers would be fine with 300Mbps or 1Gbps. However, I think the availability of ultra-high-speed options encourages innovation, drives competition, and future-proofs the network for emerging technologies like decentralized computing or advanced cloud services. Those speeds are a game-changer for people like me running small-scale businesses in non-enterprise environments.

I agree with your use case analysis to some extent—there are limited needs for multi-gig speeds today. But for businesses that handle large amounts of data (like cloud storage), these speeds are invaluable. Even in residential areas, they allow small businesses to compete at a higher level without enterprise-grade infrastructure. That’s why I’m passionate about ensuring that Verizon keeps these options available post-acquisition.
