Windstream offers broadband speeds from 1.5 Mbps to 12 Mbps. They now have 49 percent broadband penetration of residential access lines, across their 16 state footprint. “This achievement is a testament to Windstream’s focus and ability to transform our business around this cornerstone product,” said Windstream CEO Jeff Gardner in a company statement.
