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.
