Frontier YouTube TV: Complete Guide to Bundles, Pricing, and Setup

Table of Contents

How hard do you think it is to find an incredibly fast internet connection and also one of those great live streaming plans that don’t require crazy restrictive cables?

If you’re using broadband internet (like everyone should be), trying to get some ultra-fast fiber data has its challenges. And when it comes to finding good bundles like these two things above? It’s way too much work for people who need a reliable streamer and connection at their home.

What exactly is the Frontier YouTube TV partnership?

For years, the company phased out traditional cable box setups and focused solely on fiber optic internet delivery. However, to provide a complete home entertainment offering, Frontier has now decided to partner with YouTube TV – that will be the primary video service provider for them.

Thanks to the partnership, all new and existing Frontier internet subscribers get the opportunity to sign-up to YouTube TV via Frontier and also get a special promo discount rate. Unlike the current setup where you have to pay separately from your streamer provider and then do monthly billing yourself, here it’s an integrated bill that shows your streaming costs directly on the monthly Frontier statement along with account details.

Plan Pricing and First-Year Discounts

Understanding the exact cost structure helps households evaluate their overall monthly budget.

  • Standard Base Rate: YouTube TV normally costs $82.99 per month plus applicable taxes.
  • Frontier Promotional Discount: Eligible Frontier customers receive a $10 monthly discount for their first 12 months.
  • Discounted Rate: During the promotional period, the base streaming package drops to $72.99 per month plus taxes.
  • Total Annual Savings: Eligible users save $120 over their first year of service.

Because there are no annual contracts, subscribers retain the freedom to change or cancel their service at any point without facing early termination penalties. Viewers evaluating total service costs can check details on standard YouTube TV cost structures, or read about why is YouTube TV so expensive.
