It gets shorter as customers drop them.

I was. But now that I am back from lunch it seems we are in the clear with service restored.

For issues like that, follow their Twitter feed and do other stuff while you wait:

The real Windstream debacle was when some purchased service from them.

Unfortunately for some, it's their LEC.

It is? They were not last that I knew. Where have they managed to overtake a market.

I've dealt with them as an LEC in Sugar Land, TX.

Weird, they must have taken over a municipal LEC or something. Good to know that those are LEC areas to avoid putting an office. I'm original from the only LATA in the nation where no baby bell was the CLEC for the LATA and it was awful. It's also the home base of Windstream but they are not the CLEC for the LATA, just a coincidence that that is the LATA that they did their business in originally. Their reputation was so bad there that they had to change their name to Windstream to hide their shame.

It was bizarre. The project entailed plenty of fiber from TW Telecom, but had to go to the LEC for a pair of POTS, which fell to Windstream. One town over, and it's AT&T territory.
