Xspedius Communications’ management team partners with our key investors to create a company with superior financial results while emphasizing minimum debt and maximum revenue. Customers are secure doing business with an EBITDA positive company with no long-term debt.

Management believes a strong company starts by producing revenue and profit growth internally. Xspedius’ network assets create an addressable market of more than 10 million local business lines. This network’s reach also positions us as one of the highest gross margin providers in the CLEC industry. Our network’s power resides in a metro fiber network of more than 3,500 route miles, 214 Bell LSOs and 684 connected End User Buildings that drive uncommon cost efficiencies.

Beyond internal growth, the telecommunications industry’s current volatility provides Xspedius great opportunities. To grow our company, we are pursuing acquisitions similar to our 2003 purchase of Texas-based Mpower Communications, acquisitions that add scale to our southern-centric asset base and are accretive to our financial performance.
