Kinetic by Windstream Internet Reviews

Both the guys I talked to helped me out tremendously and were very polite, respectful, and patient

Add my cable installed Monday, and a service tech came out. He is new to the Windstream company. This fellow was awesome, he took his time and figure out the problem. The state police were being called out on my cable 6 times and we were not even here at camp. He troubleshoot and figure it out, which took some time, and had to even go up to the top of the mountain 4 times to fix it. He replace all that was needed. I have another tech out but nothing like this fellow The company should be thankful they have an employee like him working for them. The cable and speed are great Thank you. 7 yrs customer here.

The internet speed is terrible! It just keeps getting worse and worse. I have been a customer for a few years now, you would think things would get better, NOT. IT'S WORSE! Seriously debating on getting rid of it. I've called and called to have something done about it, all they do is put a BANDAID on it and get working decently for a few days, and then BOOM!! It all goes out the door again!! Very disappointed with this situation!!!

The quality of the internet is great. I rarely have issues with it, I sometimes even get texts ahead of time when there are outages. However, when I do have issues customer service is almost never helpful. One time when I was calling to get my home phone set up, they turned off my internet on accident and claimed there was something wrong with our modem. I had to talk to a supervisor to get them to turn it back on. When the customer service representative does know what they are doing, they are extremely rude for no reason.

I have been without internet since last night every time I try to call they give me a run around on why so I asked to speak to a supervisor, she told me there is no supervisor available. In my opinion, the worst impact of trying to get up with the internet is always going out. Totally give them a 0 if I knew this now they wouldn’t have gotten any of my money.

Customer since '83. I was experiencing slow internet. Windstream's customer service over the phone was very helpful. Had to have a work order put in. These two men went above and beyond. They called before arriving, were very respectful, and got the job done very quickly. Thanks, guys you're GREAT!!!

This review is for the techs who came to my house to change from the Windstream old WiFi to fiberoptics. They were really nice, did a great job, and made sure we knew how they were to change everything over.

Internet goes out at least 10 times a day, we’ve called and called, and they haven’t done anything to help our area.

Both my phone line and the internet were down from a nasty storm. I called up, and the associate was very pleasant and tried to answer all the questions I had and she sent someone out to fix both things. The young man was so polite and fast, that fixed the phone line on the internet. Thank you so much.

The Internet has been down all day. Can't get a hold of customer service and they keep texting me with different projected times to fix the issue. Frustrating!

I've never had a bad interaction with customer support while with Windstream. Their techs and support staff are courteous and professional. The issue I've had with Windstream is the sheer number of times I've had to call and experienced issues. I wish I could just get a direct line at this point. The unintuitive and poorly designed app crashes so frequently that it's far easier to call, and in order to talk to a real person you are forced to navigate a gauntlet of automation. I've been steered by the automated system to numbers that just ring forever, or phones that answer and are promptly hung up. Having survived the long process and finally being blessed with a real voice is a relief. Until the call you've been on for 15 minutes, 13 of them spent waiting for a team member to become available, gets dropped because you were on wifi and the poor modem is doing its best to not give up the ghost and it simply can't handle it. Play online video games? Not anymore. At 98 ping and a download speed of 8 Mbps, you're doing to get dunked on and it's going to hurt. Your wife wants to watch Netflix while you have Disney Plus already on to finally bring the Mandalorian? Good luck! Windstream is the only game in my small town and it's sad. Insult to injury is the fiber line they just installed 100 ft from my door. For the houses across the street....yeah.

We had our phone line go down and hadn't noticed. Fantastic service from a tech who came out was extremely pleasant and polite and educated us on every step he was taking to resolve our issue. That's what makes companies like Windstream. Ultimate in customer service and those touchpoints make you decide to keep or cancel service! Great job!

I give Windstream and the tech who came to my home a five-star review. He was knowledgeable and extremely helpful. We have had Windstream for almost eight years and no problems.

Recently had a service tech come to my home and work on my router and fix my downed internet problem. Tech was super friendly and helpful with explaining what had gone wrong with my internet and well knowledgeable on how to fix it. He had my internet back up and running in no time at all. I definitely will be requesting him again for issues in the future.

Times where it will kick on and off or be really slow. Honestly not happy with the service.

After calling them many times, I finally got hold of a young lady who worked at Windstream (I think approximately 5 years or more). She was very nice, very knowledgeable, and I finally got things done. She kept her word and sent me what I needed in order to send back the equipment to Windstream. A great big thank you.

Have had Windstream for years. Ok for email and works most of the time on video streaming. Only have dual DSL. Works for streaming sometimes then crashes steam server connection. Upload is very slow, like 1.4mbps. It will download at 20mbps max.

So far I am satisfied. Will be getting a new updated computer next week.

I dread having to contact Windstream customer service. They don't seem to know what they are doing. Why is it so hard?

Have had Windstream for quite a few years. It is average. I am looking for something else.
