Any regional ILEC spanning at least a few counties in size will have some amount of inter-CO dark fiber, whether they want to sell it to any 3rd parties is entirely another question.

I wouldn't have thought that Frontier was able to offer dark fiber, since air distribution fan out is all GPON, is it not?

I'm looking for a contact at Frontier that can discuss dark fiber.
My current account exec says they don't offer it, yet prior conversations with him and a previous SE revealed that they very much did (just didn't have availability on the paths I wanted at the time).
Their web site highlights it fairly proudly.
I'm aware that availability varies.
I'm aware that they likely don't want to sell it.
