Frontier Communications Corporation filing-volume reading
Frontier Communications Corporation opens on filing volume: #6 of 2,138 of 2,138 Form 477 filers by deployment records (2,137,262 records).
Among 2,138 Form 477 providers on this site, Frontier Communications Corporation sits in the upper third by record volume (≥ 2,064). Large books usually mean many census blocks marked served, not that every block has active subscribers.
Frontier Communications Corporation's filings are geographically dispersed; even the lead state (California) is only 14.6% of the book (312,737 records). Form 477 historically let providers mark a whole census block from a single reachable address; treat these counts as declared capability, not address-level availability, speed, or price.
