was doing good, now bad again...
Have had bad internet lag/drops in the past.. Kinda of expensive for 3MB dsl service versus some other carriers.
I've had my ups and downs but lately the tech support has helped a good bit.

Windstream is a monopoly in my area and can pretty much charge what they want for service apparently.. They are considerably higher rates than other competition for the same service. The fastest DSL I have available is 3MB and it's pretty dang high. I have friends a county over from mine that have 20+MB cable for the same price. They installed Fiber Optic into our network yesterday and the results today seem to be much better.. Time will tell.

Well, 12-27-2013, every evening still having high latency and ping times. Called tech support 3 times, and as of yet, nothing has been done. Sounds about typical from the service I had been getting before..

they are stalling you

"I have gotten followups through email and through the forums reference an upgrade of an OC3 in my area.."

This seems to be a standard bull reply that ends up a few months later with another bull reply like "we weren't able to get authorization to upgrade" blah blah blah
