The small town, I live in now had General Telephone, later Verison, now Frontier. Right now, my land-line is Time Warner.
The area where I live GTE was the biggest landline provider before it was bought out by Verizon and then Frontier, my parents for the longest time had GTE for their landline company, but then it went to Verizon when they bought out GTE in the late 1990s and then they went to Frontier when they bought out Verizon in somewhere around 2012, but now their landline is owned by Comcast because they got a better deal with them than they could with Frontier plus they had issues with their landline under Frontier and they refused to come out and fix the issue without charging a ton of money to do so.
