Re: [Georgia Windstream Problems] Letter in Today's Dahlonega Nugget.

Kevin Ellison commented on your post in Georgia Windstream Problems. Kevin Ellison 1:18pm Oct 29 Classic Windstream response. Take a look at the latest RFP awards for Dawson County. The commission awarded the county internet service for 2015 to WS even with better options available. There is a connection. http://dawsoncounty.org/departments/dawson-county-purchasing/bids-and-rfps/240-14-rfp-internet-service-provider-for-dawson-county-government/ Original Post Frank Gilkeson 10:24am Oct 29 Letter in Today's Dahlonega Nugget. Windstream refuses to explain why they will not deploy the Gigabit Fiber Internet in Lumpkin County and elsewhere. Windstream can support economic development in our area Dear Editor: I read Ronald Chick's letter ("Inadequate broadband internet service is costing our area growth" in the Oct. 8 edition of The Nugget and wanted to share a few comments. Thanks to the completion of a number of network enhancements this year, Windstream now provides 24 megabit-per-second Internet service in Mr. Chick's area, as well as to homes in many parts of Lumpkin and White counties. Speed is dependent on a location's distance from our serving equipment however, so I encourage individual customers to contact Windstream at 800-347-1991 to determine what speeds are available at their homes. With regard to economic development efforts, Windstream can provide any level of service that a business customer needs, and we are eager to help the community grow. It should be obvious that it's good for our business when the local economy expands. Of course, there are always costs associated with delivering Internet service, regardless of who the carrier is, but Windstream is a national provider with an extensive suite of business products and competitive pricing. We have a robust network in North Georgia as well as a strong team of managers, technicians and sales representatives, and all of us take a great deal of pride in serving our customers and serving them well.
