I have a location where we can't get the cable company for internet, no verizon fios available. Customer is interested in ethernet over copper, which I'm told bonds multiple dsl circuits into a single pipe.

Curious if anyone else uses such service and their experience?
Provider would be Windstream.

After checking out Windstream I have no idea how they get service to the customer's premises. I would direct your question to them.

Are they considering bonded T1 circuits for Internet access service?

Customer of mine had EoC from Windstream here in Ohio. 3 bonded pairs, he eventually upgraded to fiber for more bandwidth but he seemed to like the service.

Windstream provides bonded T1 circuits to provide usable ethernet service. Not FiOS or Cable, but a whole lot better than DSL. We have a health clinic that has 22 branches and Windstream connected all 23 (the main site and 22 remote sites) with bonded T1s and they worked rather well. No speed demons, but the circuits handled the data requirements of these medical facilities very well.

Glad to hear the positive responses. Windstream says they get dsl circuits from their 'vendor' which I believe is megapath via verizon and then bond them. They take 10 pair, use only 7 and keep 3 in reserve in case of failure.

This location is a city area in north new jersey where the cable company and telephone company have decided not to invest in any new facilities. The customer is left with asymmetrical dsl from Verizon. The cable facilities are ok, nothing is new.

My point is that the service is dependent on Verizon copper (or the LEC in the area) which we all know is going to crap. Nowhere does Windstream mention that little fact but instead make it look like they have their own network throughout the US. So you just assume that they provide facilities directly to your premises which is not the case. So just because someone had a good experience with Windstream doesn't mean that you will or they will continue to.

Yes, that's the real problem. Excellent point.

My other concern is will Verizon bring in new cable pairs, we shall see.
