Frontier Dark Fiber

When working with ILECs it is important to differentiate what must be offered via ICAs and what is offered commercially.  We for example sell a ton commercially but effectively none through our interconnection agreements anymore.

(we being Ziply Fiber in WA/OR/ID/MT)

Here's the list of CLLI codes where you're no longer able to order dark fiber:

It seems odd as I look through there, finding COs with no competitive fiber and yet, they're on the list.

Your rights under the ICA are dead. Since 2002 you were only able to order it if one end was in a tier 3 wirecenter, and it was killed in 2021 as an orderable product.

There's an 8 year transition for existing unbundled dark fiber (February 28, 2029). Dark fiber loops were dead in 2002 under the TRRO.

I'm looking for a contact at Frontier that can discuss dark fiber.

My current account exec says they don't offer it, yet prior conversations with him and a previous SE revealed that they very much did (just didn't have availability on the paths I wanted at the time).

Their web site highlights it fairly proudly.

I'm aware that availability varies.

I'm aware that they likely don't want to sell it.
