Windstream Launches New Internet, Streaming Service

Windstream has launched a new high-speed Internet streaming service called Merge, which will allow customers to merge their online and television service.

The company said the service will be launched nationwide to its residential customers.

“With the explosive growth of streaming content, the ‘information superhighway’ has become outdated,” said David Redmond, Windstream’s vice president of consumer marketing. “We created Merge to give our customers access to something better: what we call the ‘entertainment superhighway.’ From movies to first-run and classic television shows, gaming to social networking and more, our customers will use Merge to experience their favorite content on the biggest screens in their homes…their TVs.”

The company launched a new website, www.mergenow.com, to support the new service.
