Windstream says it produced record broadband customer growth in the first quarter ending March 31, 2007. The company reportedly added approximately 59,000 net broadband customers during that time period, a quarterly record. Windstream now has more than 715,000 total broadband customers.

"Our company is off to a great start for 2007 with solid execution by our team during the quarter selling broadband." said Jeff Gardner, President and CEO. "With our singular focus on this business, Windstream is well positioned to continue delivering solid results and strong and sustainable cash flows."

Windstream was formed through the spinoff of Alltel's landline business and a merger with VALOR Communications Group in 2006, creating the largest telecommunications and entertainment company focused on rural America with 3.4 access lines in 16 states.

The company says it is proud of its legacy of serving mostly rural customers, combining strong financial performance with quality products, reliable services and exceptional customer service.
