Windstream Promising Faster Speeds as Frustrated Users Flee → Ok

"Of course this being DSL, Windstream users will only qualify for these faster speeds if they have short copper loop lengths and quality lines...which many Windstream customers don't thanks to overall network atrophy and no competitive incentive to upgrade."

So if someone IS within ~3000 feet of a DSLAM, and their copper is corroded, does Windstream have the incentive to replace the copper with new wire if a customer wants to sign up for the service?

From direct personal experience. No.

I can open my front door and see the DSLAM (end of a residential block from me ~ about 300 feet). Speeds of less than 1Mb/s and they basically ignored me every which way from Sunday. I've been a happy Charter user for 2 years now, pay less, get more, zero troubles. Some of my family have no other options but Sat, not even 4g, I hate it for them.

Just because you see the DSLAM doesn't mean you are wired in a direct line from it. That's always been an issue with copper/DSL.

Is the DSLAM fiber fed?
