LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 13, 2017 -- Windstream (NASDAQ:WIN), a leading provider of advanced network communications, today announced it has expanded its 1-Gig internet service to provide residents and small businesses in North Georgia with ultra-fast internet speed.

“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.
