Kinetic by Windstream Delivers 300-Mbps Internet to North Georgia

DAHLONEGA, GA — Windstream, a provider of advanced network communications and technology solutions, announced the completion of a major broadband upgrade for north Georgians served by the company’s cable TV network. About 71,000 consumers in north Georgia now have access to 300 Mbps high-speed Kinetic Internet.

Windstream began delivering broadband over its cable TV network for the first time in 2017 with speeds up to 100 Mbps. “With this upgrade, we are delivering on our promise to bring faster speeds to north Georgia customers served by our cable TV network,” said J. Berkshire, president of Windstream operations in Georgia.

Meeting Demand for Smart Home Technologies
In fact, Windstream is over-delivering on the promise it made last year to boost internet speeds for 67,000 households, exceeding that goal by over 4,000 homes while finishing the work faster than expected. The newly available bandwidth comes at a time when more north Georgians are employing smart speakers and appliances, internet-connected home security, and multiple streaming services on more screens.

Windstream’s cable TV network serves Dahlonega, Blairsville, Clarkesville, Cleveland, Commerce, Cornelia, Dawsonville, Helen, Hiawassee, Homer, Jefferson, Nicholson and Young Harris. Additionally, upgrades were made in Hayesville, N.C.
