"Windstream’s SD-WAN customer base tops 2,700"
"During its fourth quarter earnings call, Windstream CEO Tony Thomas touted the company’s SD-WAN achievements, noting that the company ended the year with 2,700 SD-WAN customers, making it the largest in the country. "

Is it really true that Windstream is the biggest or is this just spin? How profitable is this business? Does Windstream have any special advantages?

The claim made depends on the math - quantities customers and locations Contracted/sold vs pending install vs installed/active.

Based on some third party research There are larger providers based on locations installed/active. Win was like #4 or #5 I think.

Honestly I’m surprised competitors aren’t touting similar stats so for now win owns the messaging and perception- and we all know perception is reality
