While we cannot prevent a hurricane, we can minimize the impactboth to our network and to the communications services we provide to our customers. "We never expected the extraordinary care we received from Windstream. Everyone, from our Account Manager to our field technician, kept us fully informed. Our service was restored much faster than we anticipated. All in all, we were treated as if we were the only business affected by the storm." -Omega Hospital LLC Following Hurricane Katrina, 2005
