windstream = worst internet ever :/ive always had issues with windstream but i found ways around it. but since November ive been having internet outages, or if i have internet its slow. i pay for 3mbps and i cant upgrade to anything higher. this is my speedtest result been the same for a couple months i keep logs
so i would like to say im thinking of switching to a different internet provider. i would rather pay more and get internet then take 5hours to load a web page. good luck windstream you have until the week after xmas to fix it. |

If you can switch now, you might as well. Windstream is inept when it comes to upgrades and fixes. Some forum-goers on here have been waiting months to a year or more for issue resolution. |

This provider makes Mediacom cable look like an A+ orginization I left them and will NEVER have service with them again. I don't care how bad Mediacom is WIndstream is trash and utter scum of a provider |

yes, if you have an option, go ahead and switch. Not only have they always made me wait, it's gotten so many times worse now customer service is a joke. About two years ago they were so over sold in my area, Sin #1. Then where I worked, a BUSINESS ACCOUNT, they provisioned us wrong. I could tell. I have worked IT. I never had over 1.5 M on a 3M account at work, every. I ran software that no matter what time of day I would never even pull a single spike over 1.5M. I then experimented with mulitstream downloads that will often over come over sold accounts. No luck. I could pull nothing but a download that was obviously capped at 1.5M. I called over and over and over. Same routine. They would not advance my ticket no matter how many times I called because they were not opening tickets in my area for limited bandwidth because of known issues (they over sold). I was beside myself. I know what I am seeing and they would not open a ticket. Lucky I knew the local guy, and after I told the story, he looked into it, and within 24 hr I was fixed. I was provisioned wrong. dah...
So you think I have faith in them? no so much. |

I've been a member for 2.8 years. That's how long I've been having Windstream issues. However, I'm glad I found this site. =p |
