Based on the information on robtex.com [1], windstream us AT&T as one of their upstreams. Windstream need to advise all of their upstream providers of any new prefixes which are to be advertised through their network, so there may be some truth to what they are saying although two months is a ridiculously long time to wait and the fact that you had a fast response from AT&T for the same request makes the whole thing smell a bit fishy.
