Frontier Communications took over former Verizon territory in California, Florida, and Texas on Friday last week, but the transition has caused problems for many customers and Frontier now says it needs until mid-April to fix everything.

Frontier, which bought FiOS and DSL networks in the three states from Verizon for $10.54 billion, set up a webpage to provide updates on the transition.
