🚀 Frontier Communications has registered a remarkable milestone: 126,000 new fiber broadband subscribers in Q2 2025, surpassing the previous record of 103,000 in Q1. They also rolled out 334,000 additional fiber passings, bringing their total to roughly 8.5 million locations reached. This performance comes as Frontier accelerates toward its anticipated merger with Verizon, which is projected to finalize in early 2026. 📌 For leaders in network infrastructure, telecom strategy, or M&A, this signals major shifts in how fiber expansion is approached industry‑wide—with big implications for broadband access, rural deployment, and convergence strategies. #mountainltd #systemone #ospengineering https://lnkd.in/eGzjmi8P
