July 28, 2022 MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul and the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) have reached an agreement with Frontier Communications to address concerns with the company’s advertising of internet access speeds and landline telephone service. The agreement resulted from an investigation by DATCP and Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ) and includes a $15 million commitment by Frontier to improve its infrastructure in Wisconsin over the next four years and a $90,000 payment to the State.
The agreement with Wisconsin requires Frontier to significantly improve its disclosure practices regarding internet speeds when installing new service for customers and requires Frontier to provide opt-out opportunities for consumers who do not receive the advertised internet speed purchased.
Wisconsin’s agreement also requires improvements in Frontier’s advertising of telephone service and its handling of service outages in Wisconsin, and that Frontier prioritize the handling of service interruptions to customers with a Medical Emergency Account.
