Upon the merger, AT&T said it had been working with Frontier for 10
months to plan the transition and that it would continue to help
Frontier make the switch. Problems were reported almost immediately.
"The problems started shortly after Frontier took control of the
former AT&T network at 12:01am Saturday," the New Haven Register
reported on Oct. 27. "Customers who contacted the New Haven Register
since then have reported not getting any programming from U-verse
television service or not getting some channels, a total loss of
digital subscriber line Internet service or an inability to access
certain websites." Frontier said it switched over 415,000 data
connections and 875,000 voice and video links, with 99 percent being
converted successfully. "There were some system problems that couldn't
have been anticipated, some problems with code" affecting the
remaining customers, Frontier Connecticut GM Paul Quick told the
newspaper. Frontier said that fewer than 10,000 customers were
affected, but some of those have been vocal on Twitter.
