I wonder how long that web page has been up, since they spelled
Digital "Digitial."
You'd think a large corporation would have more than one person review
ad copy, which is essentially what a web page is.

Besides CLECs, you have the option of several VOIP providers.
In some areas, DSL Extreme can provide you with fiber broadband
over Verizon's fios lines. Worth checking out.
The combination of DSL Extreme fiber broadband plus VOIP is
much cheaper then anything Verizon, (and presumably Frontier)
can offer. That's the route I'm taking.
