Grinnell, IA | Re: iowa telecom Exactly, We dropped them in 2008 because for $60 got us a phone line we never used and 384 k DSL.
We now have Mediacom and for the same price have
3000 mb/256k and basic tv. | |

I know a 3000/768 max connection is nothing to write home about, but it would be nice to actually get those speeds over the current 200-900 KBPS down/450 up, high latency, and unacceptable packet loss that makes even surfing problematic.
Would also be nice to finally be able to use Voip...
Come on Windstream, stop buying more capacity and start concentrating on resolving your network performance and quality issues!

Frustrated, angry, and disgusted in NC!

| | | | Re: *sigh* Yeah I know, a company needs to shave off excess in order to be profitable and also competitive at the same time, but I wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason for these layoffs had some indication of outsourcing. | |

kudos:2 | Re: *sigh* First sentence from the linked article. Seems fairly straightforward to me. Companies merged that have two fully, now redundant, supporting staffs....why keep both? To keep both makes no economic sense at all. Businesses aren't jobs programs.
Windstream Corp. of Little Rock said Thursday that it is restructuring its work force in Iowa and Minnesota, cutting 220 positions, as it converts the former Iowa Telecom properties to its corporate network and billing systems. | |

| Bone I have no bone in this dog fight. "The positions primarily are in network operations, information technology and finance, the company said."
But, over the years it seems it's a corporate problem that they can't provide what the customer requires, in order for customers to actually get a fair use and usable service? | |
