Windstream Wholesale —
Dark Fiber, Wavelengths & Carrier Connectivity Nationwide

Windstream Wholesale provides carrier-grade wholesale connectivity services — including wavelength services, dark fiber, Ethernet services, IP transit, and colocation. Windstream Wholesale serves CLECs, ISPs, wireless carriers, enterprise networks, and other carriers that need bulk connectivity infrastructure. With over 150,000 route miles of fiber across the US, Windstream Wholesale offers national coverage with a dense fiber footprint in secondary and tertiary markets where other national carriers may have limited reach.

Windstream Wholesale provides DWDM wavelength services — delivering 100G and higher capacity optical transport between carrier-grade points of presence. Wavelength services provide dedicated, uncontended optical capacity for carriers, ISPs, and enterprises requiring high-bandwidth transport without the operational overhead of dark fiber. Windstream Wholesale wavelengths are available on-net across its national fiber footprint, with diverse path options for carrier customers that require route diversity for redundancy.

Windstream Wholesale provides dark fiber — unlit optical fiber strands leased to carriers and enterprises that want to operate their own DWDM or Ethernet equipment on dedicated fiber. Dark fiber from Windstream Wholesale enables customers to control their own optical layer, set their own upgrade path, and scale capacity independently without recurring bandwidth charges. Windstream Wholesale dark fiber is available on long-haul intercity routes and metro segments, with Indefeasible Rights of Use (IRU) and operating lease structures available.

Windstream Wholesale provides MEF-certified Ethernet services — including Ethernet Private Line (EPL), Ethernet Virtual Private Line (EVPL), and Ethernet LAN services for carrier interconnection and enterprise WAN applications. Windstream Wholesale Ethernet services provide point-to-point and multipoint connectivity over the Windstream fiber network with carrier-grade SLAs and CoS (class of service) options. Ethernet services from Windstream Wholesale are appropriate for CLECs building regional networks, wireless carriers requiring backhaul, and enterprise organizations needing private WAN transport.

Windstream Wholesale provides IP transit for ISPs, hosting providers, and carriers that need internet routing capacity. Windstream Wholesale IP transit includes a full BGP routing table, AS path access, DDoS scrubbing options, and geographic diversity for carrier customers managing their own networks. IP transit from Windstream Wholesale is available at major internet exchanges and Windstream Wholesale PoPs, with scalable capacity tiers and direct peering relationships to major content networks.

No. Your agreement is directly with Windstream Wholesale — Fibi is not a party to your contract. Fibi evaluates Windstream Wholesale alongside competing wholesale connectivity providers including Lumen, Zayo, Crown Castle, and other fiber network operators based on your route requirements, capacity needs, and term preferences. For enterprises or carriers evaluating dark fiber, wavelengths, or Ethernet services, Fibi can compare Windstream Wholesale against available alternatives in specific markets. Fibi's advisory is funded by a referral commission from Windstream Wholesale — there is no additional cost to your organization.
