Re: Georgia ETA..??

I'm on the phone now with Windstream business office and will see what they can do about my monthly bill until they fix this problems. If they say $47 is the lowest they can go I'm getting my service dropped and they can come get their stuff.

It's pathetic that I even have to ask for this. I know when I requested the 12g line they never said there were problems in my area, they just accepted my order and were perfectly happy collecting my money even though I can't even reach 1g of service, more like 600mb.

So, I got forwarded to the business office and now I got forwarded to an "account specialist". On hold now for 20 minutes.

Well, stayed on the phone for 20 min and don't have the time to stay on phone all day. Calling back customer service now to come get their stuff. I'm done.

I read here to ask for "customer retention". They seem to have more authority. Sorry I have not read all your posts but have you had a tech to you house?

As thrilled as I am that a tech fixed my years long issue (and why did the other techs not?). I am po'd that everyones not getting fixed with me. I'm also afraid this fix wont last.

The good part is my service just started so I haven't paid a bill yet. I'm in my second month and I told the account specialist yesterday that I'm not paying a dime for service I can't use. The cost to hook up my service and provide the modem is on them since they didn't disclose the issue prior to agreeing to accept my business.
She said she would look up issuing me a credit and a reduced monthly payment until the service is repaired and would call me back late yesterday or early this morning.
Still waiting.

Barrow County, GA. Over the last few weeks, speeds have dropped horribly to the point of being essentially unusable.

As of right now:

Speedtest.net: 1.3 Mbps down, .64 Mbps up, 17ms ping
Speakeasy.net ATL server - .40 Mbps down, .62 up.
Speakeasy.net Seattle - .3 down, .6 up
Speakeasy.net New York - .3/.6
DSLreports.com - NJ server, .43 down, .6 up
DSLreports.com - VA server (Comcast), .5 down, .6 up

All consistent results. I assume we're in the problem area? We're very near Jefferson.

For a couple of years I had reliable 12mb service, but since early August this is the usual speed I get from Windstream, except for rare occasions during the day when I might get a short timeframe of good speed (which never lasts long.) They know what the problem is, but they are totally indifferent to the needs of their customers. CSR's know nothing except 'for a latency problem exists' and 'a plan to fix sometime in the near future'. Meanwhile, we continue to be billed for services not delivered.

It is dead time, if you had planned on doing anything you better have done it already. Now comes a night of lag and disconnects.

If you're going to call you need to call between 8 and 5 for GA customer service. It's all handled through the "cable" department for GA customers. I had to call myself today and actually spoke with a CSR that gave a damn at least enough to issue me some credit.

Phone number: 1.800.345.3874

Maybe Aaron can answer why our service is getting worse in Ga instead of getting better?

I'm dropping service constantly. I've asked for support privately from Aaron and received a call from a technician. It hasn't done any good though. I only get 0.63Mbps down and 0.61Mbps up and it has been that way for all of January so far with numerous service interruptions both night and day.

I hate the alternative company but at least maybe I can do my job with them.

Re: Georgia ETA..??

My understanding is that you will see fluctuations as new equipment is tested, installed and brought online. As to why your speeds are and service are actually getting worse, I really wish I could say for sure. There are a number of possibilities. But my assumption is that the usage in the area is still increasing, or people are getting online earlier and using the BW they would normally use later in the day. I really do wish I had the answer to that.
