Canceling Frontier Communications Service

Do you wish to cancel your Frontier Communications service? The most important thing that you need to keep in mind is that you cannot cancel your service online or via email. You must contact the Frontier customer care team and request for service cancellation.

During the call, you will speak to a customer service agent who will ask you why you want to cancel your communications service. Make sure that you have a concrete answer as to why you no longer wish to continue using their service.

The agent will also ask you if there anything that they could do to keep you as a customer. At this point, you can narrate your experience with them and see if you can get valuable.

For instance, if you have been experiencing slow connections, tell the agent about it and see if they can offer a solution. Sometimes, you may be persuaded to change your mind, but if you have already decided that it is time to go, nothing will change your mind.

Does Frontier Charge a Service Cancellation Fee?

So, will you pay a cancellation fee if you decide to cancel your Frontier Communications services? Unfortunately, yes. The company's cancellation policy states that business communication and internet service is usually offered under different terms than residential internet service.

However, you will be expected to pay a cancellation fee regardless of your package. The company's terms and conditions state that if you terminate your business communications service, you must pay the monthly charges for all of the remaining months on your contract.

For instance, if you had a one year contract running from January to December and you decide to cancel your service in July, you will be forced to pay for the remaining five months on your contract.

However, for Frontier's residential package, the maximum termination fees that you can pay is $400 regardless of how much time is left on your contract. Make sure that you read the fine details of your agreement before you apply for cancellation. This will help you avoid disputes with the company.

Can Frontier Refuse to Cancel Your Communication Service?

The simple answer to this question is no. No company can force you to continue using their services if you are dissatisfied. But, a few people have posted in various online forums stating that Frontier has refused to cancel their service even after they contacted the company.

If you happen to find yourself in such a situation, insist on speaking to the team supervisor or manager. If you do this, you can be sure that your service will be cancelled immediately. Just make sure that you abide by their terms and conditions.
