Metro Ethernet (Metro E)

Plain and simple, Metro Ethernet (Metro E) delivers your world faster. Whether using Internet access or a private WAN, your business applications demand more bandwidth at faster speeds. Windstream is here to answer that call with a direct ethernet connection. Combine this with any of our network services like hosted phone system and MPLS, and you've got a lot of great services on a high speed, low cost solution.

Why Metro Ethernet?

Metro Ethernet is committed and symmetrical - this means that the speed you buy is the speed you get for both downloading and uploading. Most cable and DSL services don't measure up to their billing in the download department and are woefully inadequate for sending files that are of any consequence.

Metro Ethernet is cost effective - legacy alternative network technologies such as T1 access are more expensive per megabit. For WANs, there's no need for expensive equipment that converts data from one protocol to another.

Metro Ethernet is flexible - when your need for bandwidth increases, ethernet allows for scaling without installing additional circuits or connections.

Metro Ethernet cooperates - need 24 voice lines or even a hosted phone system with your Metro Ethernet? No problem. Windstream's Q-Link Plus and VBX hosted phone system services work seamlessly across the ethernet connection. Want a high capacity connection at your host location for your WAN? Metro Ethernet is a great fit for any data services whether purely internet or for an MPLS cloud with multiple remote locations.

Combine Metro Ethernet with our Managed Router, Managed Security, or Hosting services, and you have a host of great applications and services traversing a screaming connection.
