We've been dealing with windstream for four years or so now and as i am a person with a muscle disease (Limgirdle muscular dystrophy) the internet is my lifeline for a social life and just to have fun. The isp windstream fails to even provide a decent amount of ping and dl speed. its so bad that i just get frustrated over and over knowing there is nothing we can do about it, We call tech support and recieve the same excuses and what not "Theres a problem in your area" blah blah. Its rediculous, Our ping times for the last few months vary HIGHLY. For an hour around 1 pm they will be low and fine (Average for us is like 200-300 kb/s dl speeds and pings around 100) --This is fine usually. But completely randomly our internet will shoot up to pings of 400-1500 pings, No literally i've seen it at 1300-1500 for 2 hours. The only times the internet isnt comletely terrible is late late at night (12pm past that until next noon) Windstream just makes me completely depressed due to the soul fact of that they dont care for their customers because they dont have to (For us atleast) We've no other ISP or any other possible Internet provider in our area, Its depressing, Windstream just gets off having no competition for my area so in return they shaft us of good service. Sorry for the rant, This is just vet aggravating to me. Thanks guys, Hope we can see some change in the future with this terrible ISP.

| Windstream does stink I also have windstream they do suck quite a bit for 3 years now i been having terrible speeds but after all this time on the 12th of april there's going to maintenance for the area i'm in to get new equipment. So when the time comes you'll probably get new equipment and have an enjoyable service.
Btw.. I hope you limb-girdle muscular dystrophy gets better! That's something hard to deal with i feel bad for what you have to go through... | |
