Frontier Communications Adds 2-Gbps Service Across Full Fiber Footprint

Frontier Communications says it is the”  first and only major ISP to deliver network-wide 2 Gig internet service” across its entire fiber footprint. The caveat is that this does not mean every customer can buy the service, only that some customers in all markets can do so.

That is notable, if incomplerte, and a sign that Nielsen’s Law still holds. Nielsen’s Law predicts that the fastest broadband speeds will grow at 50 percent per year. That does not mean the “typical” customer buys service at those top-end rates, but does correlate with faster speeds all along the buying curve, including the mid-tier and lowest-tier services.
