Frontier is staking claim to an industry-first, rolling out the first nationwide 5 gig internet service in the US.

Frontier is one of the major players in the US internet provider market, with a strong focus on rural communities. The company launched its 2 gig nationwide internet service less than a year ago and is now set to top that feat.

“We set a standard with network-wide 2 Gig internet last year, and now we’ve done it again,” said John Harrobin, Frontier’s Executive Vice President of Consumer

“Our 5 Gig offer meets the growing demand for multi-gig speeds and delivers the ‘un-cable’ experience by making the fastest upload and download speeds available throughout our fiber network.”

The new plan costs “$154.99 a month with autopay and includes uncapped data + Wi-Fi router + free installation + premium tech support.”

Do they have routers to handle that speed & will you ever get that speed consistently for an hour ? To pricey for me

Fiber?

sh*t I pay 120 right now for internet. Might upgrade if it’s faster than xfinity. And I get capped on xfinity which I didn’t know until my bm and kids moved in smh

Something I see on download sites all the time is people saying how 'fast' their internet is, and them complaining and wondering why the downloads are so slow...The reason why is that you can be paying a stupid amount of money for 'fast' internet all you want, but if the servers that websites and sh*t are hosted on are slow, overcrowded and dont have a redundant amount of bandwidth, then how 'fast' your internet is wont matter. Thats just you being limited by host servers and not what ridiculously expensive internet plan you bought. It isnt the same as your sh*t getting capped and throttled back after using a certain amount of GBs, because that is entirely an ISP issue.

Fortunately Im aware and understand that, so I dont care about 5Gbps.

Something like 5Gbps is intended for web hosts and commercial use.

So its funny but not surprising how ISPs are offering that to the general public, because Ive seen so many like I mentioned above that bought plans way less than 5Gbps for a long damn time, and even that was overkill resulting in frustration and wasted money until randoms on the internet like myself tell them a bit about how sh*t works.

This is clearly for business

I pay $45/month now for 500/500 fiber through Frontier and it’s fast af. I started with 56K dial-up back in the day and never imagined internet being this fast. 5GB is just overkill unless it’s for businesses.

Yea I’ve had Frontier over 2 years now and their speed and equipment is legit.

Outside of a smaill business, you won't need this in your house. We pay $50 for half a GIG and we have a smart house. We great.

We need more competition in the market

They do but it doesn’t mean sh*t when the cables in your house can’t even push out that much speed.

the cable mafia wont service any area where it allegedly cant make money

5g is not overkill... Faster internet is faster internet... but you are limited to your backbone speeds... currently building out a 10g lan in my crib... if xfinity jump out that high here Im snatching that easily...
