Business Wire
Frontier Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: FTR) and the Tampa
Bay Buccaneers today announced that the communications company will
continue to be the “official residential television and Internet
provider” for the Bucs through 2024.
As part of the multi-year agreement, first entered into in 2016,
the Buccaneers and Frontier will work together to engage fans
throughout the Tampa community. The partnership allows for
integrated marketing initiatives, such as exclusive sweepstake,
products and services access and demos, Buccaneers-themed Street
Team activations and fan- focused contests. Significant branding in
Raymond James Stadium is also part of the partnership. Terms were
not disclosed.
“We are very pleased to continue our partnership as the official
TV and internet provider of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. FiOS by
Frontier and the Bucs are a great combination of speed, reliability
and performance,” said Frontier’s South Region Senior Vice
President of Operations Melanie Williams. “This long-term
commitment to the Bucs and our customers is another example of our
strong presence in the market.”
The 2019 season brings a new coaching staff to the Bucs and a
continuing commitment to bring the best NFL franchise to the
community, both on the field and with business partnerships.
“A big part of the fan experience is mobile technology that
depends on reliable streaming and broadband networks. We are
excited to extend our partnership with Frontier Communications
because they are leaders in the TV and Internet industries,” said
Buccaneers Chief Operating Officer Brian Ford. “We have enjoyed
great success with Frontier over the years and look forward to
creating new ways to engage Buccaneer fans at home and in Raymond
James Stadium.”
FiOS offers the only 100 percent, all-fiber network connected
directly to consumer households on a singular, unshared network
connection. This allows Frontier to offer the fastest, two-way
introductory speed of 200/200 Megabits per second (Mbps) to the 1.4
million premises that can access the fiber network in parts of
Hillsborough, Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, Pasco and Polk
counties.
Broadband reliability at all hours of the day, less latency for
gamers, crystal clear HD-TV signals, and plenty of capacity for
multiple devices in the household are highlights of Frontier’s
service. With the all fiber-optic network, Buccaneers fans with
FiOS by Frontier can expect Internet upload speeds as fast as
download speeds, superior reliability, unmatched gaming, streaming
and device sharing and an all-digital HD-TV picture quality and
sound that brings the action on the field into your living
room.
Frontier’s fiber customers can choose to enjoy the Internet at
speeds many times higher than the national average. Customers have
the option of five speed tiers, starting at 50/50 Mbps and going up
to One Gigabit service¹.
