Windstream, a leading provider of advanced network communications, announced today that Kinetic, Windstream’s next-generation television service, is now available in Sugar Land, Texas. More than 30,000 homes in Sugar Land can sign up for the new television service that utilizes the company’s 100 percent fiber-backed network to provide an enhanced viewing experience.
Sugar Land is the third Kinetic market following successful launches in Lincoln, Neb., and Lexington, Ky., in 2015. The Kinetic launch lands just one week after Windstream announced ultra-fast 1-Gigabit Internet service in Sugar Land. The two services make Sugar Land one of the most advanced and connected communities in Windstream’s consumer markets.
"We continue to invest heavily in innovative technologies that allow us to offer services that meet our customers’ current and future needs,” said Sarah Day, president of consumer and small business for Windstream. “With the launch of Kinetic today and the announcement of 1-Gig service last week, we’re offering the Sugar Land community access to an unparalleled in-home TV and Internet experience.”
