Frontier Communications Triple Bundle Free TV/Laptop Promotion

Frontier Communications (formerly Verizon) is hosting a promotion right now where you get the choice of a 32" Insignia LCD 720p 60hz television and Insignia wi-fi Blu-Ray player or a 15" laptop if you sign up for telephone services (local calling plus services), internet (wi-fi for rural communities available) and a television package (mine is through DirectTV satellite). (Click on each item to see the Best Buy sale price for each item). Insignia is Best Buy's house brand name, and I have to say, it works great! I have been a DirectTV customer for several years, and when I decided to put in a land-line, Frontier Communications was one of the only companies that offered service in my area and it was quite reasonably priced. Fast forward a couple of months and I received a phone call from Frontier inquiring if I was interested in their high speed internet access. I was absolutely delighted because I had been unable to get any internet service in my rural area. The best part was that since I would be signing up for internet service, I would be able to bundle my phone, internet and tv and take advantage of the current promotion. Another plus is that all Frontier Communications jobs are based right here in the United States.

Once frontier is able to bundle your billing from all three services, they send you out a bill.  If you choose the television and blu-ray player, there is a $69.99 tax and delivery charge.  They bill to your account.  The first bill that you receive after having your services bundled will have the tax and delivery charge.  You can choose to break that charge into 3 equal installments, but they will not ship the television and blu-ray player until it is paid.  I had mine billed in one installment and even though they told me not to expect delivery for 60-90 days, I received it in about three weeks!  Everyone at Frontier was extremely helpful, the technicians were great and the wi-fi internet works perfectly! The whole family is happy because we were finally able to get wi-fi internet access in our rural area, and we have a wonderful new t.v.!
