Paying for 3Mbs, getting less than 1Mbs. Did not realize till just recently that there were different speeds that you could pay for. I have had Windstream for over ten years, so have been getting ripped off for over a decade and didn't know it. They are the only provider where I live, so they have the monopoly.

#2 Consumer Comment
windstream service

Everyone I know in town and I are getting horrible internet service as well, nothing close to the stated speeds. Unfortunately, in the fine print, Windstream states they "manage" their data usage. So during prime times, everyone is rationed out their data usage. They also state their speeds as "up to". They are the only ISP in the area or I would drop them like a hot potatoe.
If we have any recourse, I would love to know, but they seem to have covered themselves well in their agreements.

#1 Consumer Suggestion
File a lawsuit

I just had Windstream installed and am regretting it already. I had them
for about 9 months and went through all kinds of problems. They
garunteed that their service was much improved over the last year but
I'm only getting 1/3 of my alloted speed and even less of the upload
rate. With a DSL connection you are supposed to get garunteed rates
that don't vary with traffic and use by other broadband users.
I
am a IT (computer/network tech) technician and when I call their tech
support they give me total BS answers and tell me that it is some
problem that is absolutely impossible or could have nothing to do with
the issue. They either hire totally unqualified tech's or they are
running a scam, getting as many customers to pay and then providing
shoddy service and not giving assistance when needed.
I have
started a website that is going to focus on consumer advocacy for ISP
users because if you don't speak tech talk, they will just talk rings
around you and leave you scratching your head. They can't do that with
me nearly as easily so that I why I am offering my site as a way to
collect compaints and issues with their service. Look to my username
for the domain of my site. Please excuse the look of the site as I am a
tech, not a web designer so it is under construction.
