frontiered

To get frontiered - to receive a runaround when calling tech support, including clueless representatives, terminal holds, being bounced multiple times between departments, and eventually getting disconnected and having to start the process all over again. Named for Frontier Communications, which recently took over for AT&T in New England (already known for bad tech support) and made it several orders of magnitude worse.
