Seems that the Associated Press has discovered Frontier Communications’ proposed ridiculously miniscule usage caps…

Associated Press Discovers Cap Debate
The only slim glimmer of hope for Frontier Communications customers is that there’s a rumor going around today that the company might be sold to Little Rock, Arkansas-based Windstream Communications in the next six months or so. As the linked article states,
Windstream has no plans to implement usage caps on broadband customers at this time, nor does it charge customers for company-supplied modems.
Of course, that could change at the drop of a hat, but then again we know of few phone companies that seem (in our opinion) so opposed to giving their customers a break on anything as is Frontier. Here in Michigan, they are probably the only company left that does not offer local adjacent exchange calling to all adjacent exchanges, to all of their customers (although if they did, no doubt the service would have a Minutes-of-Use cap!). We rather doubt that Windstream would treat their customers as badly (again, just our opinion, and really more of a guess) but since they don’t currently own any phone companies in Michigan, we really don’t know that much about them.
