Windstream (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network
communications, today announced it has expanded its 1-Gig internet

Blairsville, Byron, Clarkesville, Cleveland, Colbert, Dahlonega,
Dawsonville, Haddock, Jasper, Jeffersonville, Lakeland,
Milledgeville, Noble, Pendergrass and Springfield.
“We’re extremely proud to share that Georgia
represents one of the first five states in the Windstream footprint
to have access to our ultra-fast 1-Gig internet service,” said
Jarrod (“J”) Berkshire, president of operations for Windstream in
Georgia. “Many of the investments and infrastructure upgrades we
set in motion years ago are now allowing us to roll out faster and
more reliable internet speeds across North Georgia. While 1-Gig
represents a significant milestone, we continue to look for areas
where we can bring faster speeds and improved experiences to our
customers in the area.”
Windstream’s 1-Gig internet service is currently
available in Lincoln, Nebraska; Lexington, Kentucky; Sugar Land,
Texas, and seven North Carolina communities.
With 1-Gig, residential customers are able to

The Gig expansion is part of a larger initiative
to bring extensive technology upgrades to North Georgia customers.
Through Gig and the recently announced cable upgrades in North
Georgia, Windstream is committed to continuing to grow and enhance
its service offering to customers throughout the region.
