Nationwide Verizon has made the decision to get out of the landline phone service and go wireless. Verizon has and is selling off their wired phone system wherever they can, Frontier is one of the big buyers of Verizon copper systems.
In Virginia Verizon stopped repairing / replacing copper phone services where fiber optic was available about two years ago. When asked by a resident why we were marking their yard we were instructed to only say for a new phone service drop and NOT mention fiber. I believe because Verizon charged more for FO service and that residents would object to the higher priced service.
