Frontier Communications

About
Frontier Communications is a large telecommunications company in the United States.

In May 2009, they acquired much of Verizon's land-line phone service, generally including any internet service bundled with the phone service. This entailed much reconfiguration on the part of customers, and was not always handled well. For example, Verizon's SMTP servers stopped recognizing user authentication credentials several hours before Frontier's SMTP servers began to recognize them, leading to a span of time when Verizon/Frontier users could not send email (since outgoing SMTP to external servers has always been blocked).
