The cable co I consult for had an order for Windstream placed in November of
2013.
They were trying to get off of AT&T fiber. The rep at Winstream assured us
this is possible. The install was to take place in February 2014.
Fast forward to I think Sept 2014, we cancel the order. Windstream was going
to run AT&T fiber to a different location and pawn it off to us as a
different supplier. As much as I dislike dealing with AT&T today, we placed
an order with them and had a 500Mb fiber installed within the month.
Could be an isolated incident, but it didn't exactly instill me with faith
in Windstream.
