“Kinetic would much rather make sure they put in those new fiber orders than fix your phone. In fact, my husband says they purposely put a stop to fixing phones - the local community can't have phones because having the most fiber orders is more important than people in rural communities having a phone for emergency services.”
“About a week and a half ago, they suddenly stopped a few hundred yards from my house with everything unfinished. There's fiber not spliced, there's steel cable with no fiber, there are even new poles on the ground not erected. Is this typical behavior for them?”
“Finally got Kinetic! No more DSL. So far so good.”
“Once a month, their landline calls 911 on its own and hangs up. This has been a known issue for a few years and Windstream can't seem to get it under control.”

View on FCC Broadband MapUpgraded from Windstream DSL to their Kinetic fiber and it's like a different company. Symmetrical gigabit for $67/month with no caps or contracts. The Wi-Fi 6 router they include works well too. Just wish they'd upgrade more areas faster.
