Re: [North Georgia Democrats] Windstream Communications explains why their puny...

Kim Jape commented on your post in North Georgia Democrats. Kim Jape 5:39pm Oct 22 Windstream is crap. Constantly had outages at our business. Finally dumped them .. only to find that most telecommunications companies have crap service too. But at least we don't have outages anymore. Comment History Pamela McCurley 4:58pm Oct 22 Lol Pam Robison, I giggled at your post then realize wished I was in Kansas not backass Gordon County. Kansas has the fastest in the country and who wants to live in Kansas? Sherie S. Luffman 4:44pm Oct 22 Lloyd Luffman, check out this post and the comments! W Lorraine Watkins 3:27pm Oct 22 Here is the FB group addressing area Windstream problems. https://www.facebook.com/groups/georgiawindstreamproblems/ W Lorraine Watkins 3:24pm Oct 22 There are several complaints in the State Consumer Protection Agency and before the campaigns tooled up some interest and preliminary efforts in the state senate to investigate. I suggest contacting them after the elections. Pam Robison 3:23pm Oct 22 This system is so outdated Pamela McCurley that I think you mean the 'wild frontier' View All Comments Original Post Frank Gilkeson 10:57am Oct 22 Windstream Communications explains why their puny copper wire DSL internet is just fine for Dahlonega and Lumpkin County . According to them Dahlonega and Lumpkin do not need the Federal Government's 100 Gigabit Internet to stimulate development. Now why is this just plain wrong? Letter in today's Dahlonega Nugget. 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.
