Hello. I HAD Frontier DSL where I live. I finally switched to Hughesnet after debating it for the past 2 years. I work from home watching security footage and older DVRs for store traffic. With Frontier I wasn't even able to watch a full DVR. It paused every 15 seconds and took another 15-30 seconds to load the data so I could watch the next part of the DVR. I don't have that problem anymore since I have Hughesnet. I get twice as much work done. Given the fact that I work from home, I almost always on a daily basis would get dropped numerous times, and then I would have to start the computer again, etc. etc. Sometimes I wasn't even able to connect to Frontier. I cannot stand them. I was terrified to get Hughesnet to be honest, that's why it took me close to 2 years to finally break down and get them. Frontier doesn't care how many times I called and complained. They are awful in my honest opinion. Grant it I only use HN for work - I pay the bill - and I still have Frontier reluctantly because my son has Xbox One and games alot - and he has drag when playing.
I have been extremely happy with Hughesnet thus far; I haven't had any issues with my data, speed, customer service, etc. The evenings are a bit slower and that is expected, so I am not that upset about that. But overall, I would choose HN over Frontier DSL. I found Frontier DSL as unreliable service, constant disconnects and extremely slow. I live in Sullivan County, PA - which if you look on the map, is pretty up there in the mountains. I live in the woods and Frontier is our only source of internet - besides satellite. Maybe where you live it may be better, but for me, here - definitely HN.
