Yeah, I wouldn't worry about the services themselves. This is all legal maneuvering due to the financial engineering that was being done. They won't be going dark or anything. Absolutely worst case they may have to sell some markets off to another carrier, but IF that gets there it's many years away anyways.

I just took a wholesale circuit from Windstream, it was fine - the provisioning/delivery portion was within the Chapter 11 timeline. The Chapter 11 thing, if you read about it, isn’t really because they are going bankrupt, it's more to protect them from a pending lawsuit from a hedge fund (Aurelius Capital) “if” the hedge fund wins in court. The hedge fun did initially win, but Windstream is appealing, if they lose the appeal, the Chapter 11 protection will prevent the hedge fund from gutting Windstream dry, which they would happily do! It all has to do with the fact that the hedge fund was unhappy that Windstream spin-off assets into Uniti Fiber, i.e. rich people upset about not making “enough” money from a deal. -John On May 6, 2019, at 9:46 AM, Marshall, Quincy <Quincy.Marshall () reged com> wrote: -------- Original message -------- From: Mehmet Akcin Date: 5/6/19 09:02 (GMT-05:00) To: Theo Voss Cc: nanog () nanog org Subject: Re: Fibre provider in Starkville, MS "hi Theo, Looks like Earthlink (now Windstream) has fiber there. You can visit www.infrapedia.com to look at what is available. *<snipped>"* Hasn't windstream filed for Chapter 11/13 protection? Not certain that's the best choice. *LQ Marshall* ------------------------------ This email has been scanned for email related threats and delivered safely by Mimecast.
