Though we alerted you last week that Windstream was now offering 12Mbps ADSL2+ , the company made it official today with a press release. "Windstream experienced a four-fold increase in Internet usage in 2007 as our broadband customer base grew 28 percent year-over-year," says a company rep. "This network upgrade allows us to offer faster speeds at greater distances, enabling customers to accomplish more in less time through a dedicated Internet connection at a great value." The 12Mbps/1Mbps tier is $19.99 for the first six months, and $45 per month after that (though some of our users in less competitive markets are being quoted prices $5 higher).
