User uid://1577646 writes in to note that Windstream is informing DSL customers of some significant price hikes. "3Mbps -- which is still the max for a considerable amount of their footprint, despite having received stimulus money -- went from 39.99 to 47.99," he notes, adding that Windstream's 6Mbps tier went from $44.99 to $49.99, and 12Mbps went from $49.99 to $52.99. "Since 2004 my Internet bill has gone from $34.99 to $47.99 while my speeds have stayed exactly the same." A representative in our forums notes that rates aren't rising for users who signed up for "price for life" promotions, though users note that this promotion was never offered for standalone broadband users. Windstream's full pricing breakdown can be found here.
