It took almost a week to get a call returned but the issue was resolved. At least for now. Their service has shown to be erratic over the last few months and you really don't get your money's worth.
Description of Work: Called customer technical support due to slow internet speeds and random outages.

Used their internet service for about a year and canceled due to multiple outages that ranged from a few hours to days as well as my VPN was constantly disconnecting. Switched to another provider and have had no outages or VPN disconnections. Also found out that when you cancel you have to pay for the entire month as they do not prorate their charges. Although Lexington has limited options for internet service, Windstream should be your last choice.

I'm pretty unhappy with them because they bill me too high. The billing is very poor. They told me its 99 dollar a month but I'm billed 160 dollars the cheapest a month.

The story has a happy ending - so far. I'll update the review if that changes.
Description of Work: I signed up for internet and home phone with windstream. Went to the Windstream store, worked with Maria - who was super. Set up everything, scheduled everything, called to make sure all was going well. Great. Technician called the morning of the appointment to tell me he would be there about 15 minutes earlier than scheduled. Kind person, didn't smell (don't laugh, sometimes that's tough), looked good, easy to understand.... Took him 30 minutes (max) to set everything up - including my online account. Great. Their pricing is reasonable - however, the equipment that you can buy from them, is quite high. Convenient that they have it, but it's too pricy. They can do better.

I am a heart patient and I needed 911 capability besides the cell phone since it doesnt have a magic button, so I decided to get a reg phone installed for the cheapest price available. They installed the line for free and I pay 12.95 for the 911 service and 800 calls for whatever, I can receive unlimited calls. It is best vaule for the price!!
Description of Work: Needed a phone line installed just to have 911 capability and 800 capability. They were very professional and they could not add it right away they had to go 1/4 mile down the street to fix a problem in order for me to receive this service. They were nice and friendly, and knew their stuff!!
