Robert Garross of Woodinville can enter and leave his home without assistance for the first time in years, thanks to Joshua Brookshier, of Kitchen Plus, and his team who constructed a free wheelchair access ramp as part of the Master Builders Care Foundation’s Rampathon event.   

Volunteers from the Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties built 15 free wheelchair ramps for low-income disabled homeowners on one day for the event on May 19. Since 1993, teams from the Master Builders Association have constructed 320 wheelchair ramps.

I have spoken to Mr. Gaulke and assured him we are not cutting speeds in the Woodinville market (or…Read More any of our markets). We are working with him to approach his technical issues from scratch and will do all we can to alleviate his concerns about his speeds. His business, and all the business from our customers in the Woodinville market is very valuable to us. While we are disappointed to receive feedback his service is not living up to our standards, we are grateful for the opportunity to work with Mr. Gaulke and keep his valuable business. We welcome inquiries from other customers if there is anything we can do to improve. Please reach out to me at 425.275.8579 and let us know how we can help.

Frontier has spent the past three years expanding broadband to hundreds of thousands of homes across…Read More the US and increasing speeds in many of our markets. Mr. Gaulke’s experience and recount of his conversation with one of our reps comes as a surprise to us. We are checking our records to find out what the possible miscommunication could have been. In the meantime, let us be clear: We are not decreasing speeds in Woodinvile, or any of our markets for that matter. We will be reaching out to Mr. Gaulke to see if we can alleviate any lingering concerns. Christy Reap Frontier Communications
