In the past when we had similar problems with Windstream I found that often (about 75 percent of the time) I could hard reset the BGP session locally and Windstream would pickup after the reset and route correctly. The other 25 percent, like you, I just had to down the BGP session with them entirely and wait for the routes to clear. A few of those times I even called our 24/hr support number to ask if they could clear or reset the session from their side and was inevitably told "we will look into it" (not)...
