Windstream Internet

Windstream provides various internet options, including Dial-Up, DLS, cable, and fiber-optic. Here’s how each type of internet service works:

• Dial-Up: Dial-up internet uses a phone line to connect to the internet through a modem, with data transmitted over traditional copper wires at relatively slow speeds.

• DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): DSL internet uses a telephone line to transmit digital data, with separate frequencies allocated for internet and voice communication.

• Cable: Cable internet utilizes coaxial cables to deliver internet service, sharing bandwidth with television signals. 

• Fiber: Fiber-optic internet employs thin glass or plastic cables to transmit data via light signals, offering incredibly fast and reliable internet speeds as data travels at the speed of light through the cables.

Windstream internet speeds vary based on where you live, but the fastest available option is Windstream fiber internet up to 2 Gig (2000 Mbps).

Bandwidth throttling is when a service provider intentionally slows your internet speed if you’re close to your data limit. Windstream does not cap or slow internet speeds, so you can surf and stream worry-free with unlimited data and no overage charges.
