History

Windstream Kentucky East was established in 2001 as Kentucky ALLTEL, Inc. (as opposed to ALLTEL Kentucky, Inc., an existing company Alltel owned). The company was founded to take over Verizon South operations that were formerly operated by GTE and included were those originally operated by Contel. In 2002, the sale of Verizon's assets in Kentucky took place, with Alltel becoming owner.

In 2006, the company was renamed Windstream Kentucky East, Inc., following the sale of Alltel's wireline assets to Valor Telecom. Valor renamed itself Windstream.

In 2007, the company became a limited liability company.

As of 2012, the company has 676 employees and operates 508,000 lines in 94 exchanges.[1]

gollark: I think a big reason for inefficiency is that some sites seem obsessed with shipping big images with their content even when it's not meaningful or helpful.
gollark: I've designed my website to be very lightweight, though, so it's reasonably good for people on slow connections and loads very fast.
gollark: I'm on a 30something Mbps VDSL connection, which I consider bad but which is actually somehow better than many people I interact with.
