Why is my Windstream internet speed slower than advertised?

Windstream’s advertised speeds are typically the maximum speed the internet connection is capable of, but it’s not always the speed you receive. Internet connections can be slower than advertised due to factors like network congestion, but Windstream is also one of the fastest expanding networks in the US, which comes with some growing pains.

As Windstream expands into new areas, it often acquires existing infrastructure from other companies, delivering internet across a range of technology types. Windstream customers can expect speeds to improve as the company upgrades its infrastructure, especially as its fiber network reaches into new areas.

About our Windstream internet speed test

The Windstream internet speed measures three things:

Download speed: The speed at which your device pulls data from the internet. Usually measured in Mbps or Gbps.

Upload speed: The speed at which your device sends data to the internet. Usually measured in Mbps or Gbps.

Latency (Ping): The time (measured in milliseconds) it takes for a signal to travel from your device to an internet server and back. Lower latency means your connection has a better response time for activities like gaming and livestreams.

How does the Windstream internet speed test work?

Our speed test connects to a nearby server and sends information back and forth. By sending files of different lengths and measuring how long it takes, the test learns about the speed of your connection. This usually reflects your home’s internet speed, but other factors like a slow router or people watching Netflix in the next room can impact the results too.

To get a more accurate measurement of your internet connection, connect your device directly to the router using an Ethernet cable instead of a wireless connection, and make sure you’re not also using bandwidth on other devices.
