I work for Windstream and we guarantee up to 1gb to your modem. Wifi 1gb isn't guaranteed. That would be a nightmare to maintain a 1gb speed wirelessly. You would be surprised at how many homes are already set up for direct ethernet. all I have to do is put an end on a cat5 cable and plug into an ont.

If you're hardlined in and still not getting full rates u need to call the isp.

If you have Windstream Kinetic in your area call them. Windstream was a shitty company but I think they are actually trying to fix their reputation. We are currently building our fiber infrastructure out over the next decade to bring 1gb fiber to rural areas.

I've had 1gb fiber service for the last year and have never had any issues yet.

I'm a technician.
