The Breakdown: Frontier Internet Plans for Seniors
Keep in mind that Frontier plan availability, speeds, and pricing will vary by location.
Plans and Pricing
Frontier Basic Internet for Light Internet Users
Frontier Internet offers several internet plans geared toward seniors who are new to the internet or need to use it for basic tasks. Frontier Basic Internet is a great starting point for older adults who want to send emails, video-chat with their grandkids, or check bank statements and the news. This plan starts at $37.99 for 12 months and has speeds up to 9 Mbps. Frontier Basic Internet is a (you guessed it) basic plan that lets you catch up on simple internet tasks. However, it won’t be enough speed to stream movies in HD or play online games. We’d recommend it for older adults who don’t spend as much time online.
Frontier FiberOptic Gig for Heavy-Duty Internet Users
If you’re looking for higher speeds, like up to 940 Mbps, a Frontier FiberOptic Internet plan might be a good upgrade. With those speeds, you can upload large photo files of your grandkids, play games, and stream Netflix on multiple devices. If you have family over, they can stream content on their own devices without slowing down your connection. Frontier FiberOptic plans vary in pricing and speeds, but if you go with FiberOptic Gig, it costs $74.99 per month for 36 months (promo offer) and offers speeds up to 940 Mbps with no data caps or overage fees. This means that you can use the internet as much as you want without worrying about being billed for going over the data limit. The best part? There’s no annual contract with FiberOptic Gig or any other Frontier Internet plan.
Did You Know? Frontier offers Multi-Device Security, which is software that helps keep your personal information secure online and protects your devices from viruses and malware.
Installation
You can either opt for self-installation or have your internet installed by a professional technician from Frontier. If you decide to self-install, you will need all of your equipment handy and to see if your service has been activated on your Service Ready Date. Once all of that is sorted out, you can read Frontier’s internet equipment self-install guide to get started.
If you would rather rely on the expertise of a professional technician, you also have the option of scheduling an installation. Currently, Frontier offers a “Safety-First Installation” appointment where they follow safety protocols and maintain social distancing to protect against COVID-19. During the installation, you will need to wear a face mask, and you might be asked to plug in or activate equipment as an additional precaution.
No Contracts
There are no contracts with Frontier Internet, but all internet plans require a 12-month agreement to lock in the best monthly price. If you go with a fiber plan, there’s no agreement or data caps, so you can stream as much content as you like without worrying about extra or hidden fees.
