Does Windstream provide a modem or do I need to buy one?

Asked 2 years ago
Windstream generally provides a modem or gateway as part of their internet service offering. When you subscribe to Windstream Internet, you typically receive a modem that is compatible with their network standards. This means that you do not usually need to purchase a separate modem unless you prefer to use your own hardware or if you have specific requirements for your network setup. It is important to note that there may be a monthly rental fee associated with using the equipment provided by Windstream, whereas purchasing your own modem outright could save you from ongoing rental costs in the long run. If you decide to use your own modem, ensure that it meets Windstream's compatibility requirements to avoid any connectivity issues. For the most accurate and current information regarding equipment options and policies, it is advisable to check Windstream's official website or the terms of service provided upon subscription. This will give you the necessary details related to modem provision, rental fees, and specific model compatibility.
