How do I access the personal webspace feature? Is itnow limited to thekind of website I can get from several free online services? Can I use a program like frontpage to transfer my site from my former provider?

You missed all the gripping we have been doing. You cannot use frontpage or anything like it anymore. You have to use Verizon's (I think written by or with tools from Trelix) web builder tool to build it completely on their site.

The tool is pathetic and half the doc about it talks about feature you cannot use anymore like their photo tool. No FTP or other upload works any more.
Incredible! We pay for webspace we can't use. Then Verizon is unable to delete remanent files without a flail for each client. There's a story here, and I bet it involves liability for some cretin who wants to spam or load porn via Verizon. I concur the site builder is incomprehensible, and also that the various "Help" functions are laughably useless and ought to be mocked thoroughly.
Has ANYBODY got a solution to webspace restoration? I hate to do it but will go back to Cox if they still have a workable FTP function.
The web space is considered complementary, as a bonus to the service. You aren't actually paying for it unless you are paying for more space on the Web Hosting service, so to speak. What your bill pays for covers the cost of the connection to the Internet, the speed you requested, tech support, and the costs to run the equipment needed to deliver service to you. There are plenty of free web hosts out there that offer more services than any large ISP would dare to offer for free (options to use your own domain for Free, e-mail storage, PHP, MySQL, Perl, Cron Jobs, Python, Unmetered Bandwidth, GIGABYTES of space) and include full FTP access, and even a web-based file manager.

Agreed - try freewebs 😉
