The short answer

Call Frontier at 1-800-921-8101 and ask to cancel. Frontier Fiber plans have no annual contract, so there is no cancellation fee; some older DSL plans and bundles had terms. Ask for the end date and router return instructions, and keep the shipping receipt.

Return the equipment

Return the router the way Frontier tells you on the call, usually with a prepaid label. Keep the tracking number until the final bill is clear.

Want to stay but pay less?

Ask the retention agent for the current new-customer price before you agree to cancel. See how to negotiate your internet bill, and how to reach Frontier customer service and Frontier's price after 12 months.

Switching instead?

Compare T-Mobile 5G Home, Verizon 5G Home and the cheapest 5G home internet. They are no-contract and self-install, so you can test one before you cancel.
