Reps randomly sent out to houses in hopes of selling whatever can be sold - what about the safety? Appointment at night and other times without an installer? It is all about the selling and "supposed" service. Will this program last? How long?
Can anyone confirm that CA landline bill states account will be handed off to Frontier in October?
I've heard from different sources, but haven't seen it personally.
