A:Answer Perhaps I can shed some light on the opposing answers to this question. I did not do the research to answer the question regarding this modem working with "bonded" connections, but I did find out, from Windstream tech-support, that Windstream uses different systems in different service areas. That, at least in part, might explain why the answers to the question about the use of this modem with Windstream differ. I will assume that the answer claiming that this modem will not work for a "bonded" system is true because once I found out that, in my area, a "bonded" system is not used, I had no need to look further. If verification to that answer is wanted, I suggest that a call to Netgear support be made. If you want to know what system Windstream uses in your area, call their tech support.
