Verizon made it known long ago that they want to get out of the local landline business and filed accordingly in the states that they provide service. Frontier is now your local carrier.
Do a Google Search for Verizon gets out of local service, or Frontier takes over local service from Verizon, etc.
The company that I work for, AT&T has begun filing in different states to do the same thing.
Funny about this, is that now I work for AT&T after merger, after merger, but I was Illinois Bell, until the 5 regional states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio became Ameritech, so I became Ameritech until we merged with Southwestern Bell and became SBC, until we bought AT&T for the name, and are now AT&T. But here's the funny part about it...AT&T pushed for divestiture (breakup) harder than anyone, because they didn't want anything to do with local service. They only wanted long distance and leased lines. But then the internet took off like gang busters, and AT&T tried to get back into the local service by buying TV cable companies and stuff, and nearly going broke doing so. That's how we bought AT&T for a pawtry $16 Billion, because they were almost gone. Now...Verizon and AT&T want to get out of the local telephone business and only do cellular and Uverse (bundled TV, internet), but you wait until Frontier finds its nitch in a few years and that whatever new service takes off, and you'll see Verizon and AT&T kill themselves trying to get back into the business. These things go in circles and little guys starving for business fight, scratch, and claw to survive and grow, while big, lazy fatcats become a thing of the past. I hope to be retired and invested elsewhere by that time.
Every now and then, I run into a couple of Verizon techs about lunch time, and while we share lunch, we try to out do each other with bad management horror stories. So far, its pretty much a tie, and those guys hope to retire like me. Nice fellas. Who knows, maybe one day the Frontier guy might ask to sit in for lunch as well.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
