its seems this is going on all over their network. so much for it being DSL, when they over sell we pay for it with crap speeds.

Little better tonight , I,m only loosing Half my speeds at 10 pm tonight lol




I know what you mean codbo3, I been with this isp for almost 8 years , so i know the signs when things start going down hill lol

Its been an up and down battle with them from day 1 ,We Can have long stretches of great service then out of the blue things start going to hell and it takes them forever to fix it , Its never ending

If you have not done so already please send us a PM or post in Windstream Direct so that we can look into your account. I have been working on several customer in Texas (near Huntington) that are having similar issues. However many of those issues are very near to being resolved. We are waiting on some work to be done by Level3 and everything should be back to normal.

I do not know if you remember me but I live in Whitney..I'm over by Murdoch Meadows on HWY 22 near Dam..The problems from before are back even worse..My 6mb service was .03mb last night and for the past week!!Called customer service but no help..Not going to deal with this for a year and a half like last time..There is a new service in Whitney..The tower is located right behind phone office in town..You should have got a flyer in the mail last week..Skybeam wireless..They offer 5mb service right now with plans to upgrade..It costs more than what I'm paying now, w\tax about $64 a month..It is line of site and you have to put what looks like a small dish on your house to receive the signal..I will be switching this week if no response or fix from Windstream..They told me I could try it for 30 days with MONEY BACK if not satisfied..Good luck...Tim...

Hiya thutchings6 , I Do remember you , Hows things ??

Oh i didn't know we had another choice in town , Always new about satellite but the latency on that is just crazy , No way i could play online games on sat and i think wireless is the same way , The latency would be way too high

They advertise latency same as dsl.But i read forum on this site about there service and the reviews are terrible.did not see any reviews from this area but all said customer service was terrible..Level2 tech told me that they new about the problem in our area and that DATA-NOC would be here on 10/4 to find a fix.My 6mb dsl after 8pm drops to speeds less than dial up.

I am in the same boat as you in South Ga. The problem is they have no competition and get money from the government along with most of the people in the rural areas they provide don't really understand how they are being screwed. I signed up on Twitter just so I could vent about it. I suggest everyone start doing that maybe we can get it trending then someone who can do something will take notice.

I cant even play games tonight -- webpages are taking forever to load ;(

GOLDNSQUID . We have no real competition either ;(

Guess i,ll have to start calling tech everyday maybe get my bill cut in half maybe then i can get an answer on a fix

All my years with windstream i have never had an issue with the speeds . Have always been latency issues

If you take a look at most aggregated switch traffic at the major carrier hotels/internet exchanges/etc., you'll notice that traffic is always much lower on Saturday and Sunday.
