Whoops, I lied just like their customer service when it comes to why speeds are so slow at night.
They will tell you, I am so sorry that your internet service is slow, knowing that it will never be corrected and that they get paid for you being a complete, stupid, idiot for signing up with them.
Anyone who reads this, all the complaints listed here are not bogus. It is absolute truth.
Windstream TOTALLY SUX!!! What a complete, pathetic, poor excuse for a company.
At night, your upload speeds will be faster than your download speeds.

| The Truth This person speaks the truth. While I was finally fixed, it took nearly 4 years of ever decreasing speeds until just this Feb (2013) when they fixed it. Before it was fixed my speeds dropped to .43 M at night, which is exactly a modem.
Despite having finally been fixed (for now as been here before), they let their system go totally to crap (.43M) before repairing it. And yes, many nights my upload exceeded my download.
Don't tell me it's because of being rural. 8 miles down the road in a town the same size (thousand people), Comcast offeres 50 down, 5 up, and it works that way at night! They have better uploads than I have down 'when' mine is working right.

Their next excuse is they are updating the equipment and in a while my service will be faster.
Then we go thru they are testing my modem.
I asked twice so far about a wireless modem along with the Ethernet modem.
One says I need to pay for the wireless and cannot use it with the Ethernet.
Other one says I don't need to pay for the wireless modem but can only use one of them at a time.
My bill is now $93, service bundle $60. non pub # $4., service plan $10, I only went with their service plan because they told me I would need to pay $75 for a new modem.
I remember when they sent out a new modem for free
I'm ready to go to Comcast
I ended up here searching on routers with different Ethernet connections, Roku and trying to get away from paying for TV, anymore all of this sickens me. | |
