Use broadbandmap.fcc.gov to confirm availability or not.  If Kinetic says
it's available there and you can't sign up, challenge the location.

Other people on their street do have Kinetic, and I believe Windstream
laid cable from the street to their house, but they are being told there
are no facilities to connect them to an OLT or some other type of
termination device.

Thank you

It is new construction home, it may be HoA, so it is controlled by HoA
which may have some deal with one provider for landline.

So it may be dictated by HoA until it reach to certain level when that
binding deal is expired.

*Subject: *Windstream/Kinetic OSP assistance/clie sought



Some of my family recently moved to an area of North Carolina where
high-speed residential Internet connectivity options seem to be very
limited. Outside of the options below, the only thing they're able to get
is satellite Internet service, and the performance has been very poor



They moved into an area where the neighbors have Kinetic (Windstream's
Internet service) but my relatives have been told that there are no
facilities available for them. This is new construction, so perhaps it's
possible that their address hasn't been added into whatever systems
Windstream/Kinetic use for service pre-qualification?



Is there anyone I can talk to at Winstream to find out if it is indeed
possible to get service at their address, or if there is way I can get past
the gatekeepers?



Any guidance from someone in the know at Windstream would be greatly
appreciated.



Thank you

jms
