History

Xspedius was created through the consolidation of several telecommunications companies. The initial footprint consisted of 6 facility based cities - Lake Charles, Baton Rouge, Lafayette, Memphis, Nashville and Greensboro/Winston Salem. In an acquisition on August 30, 2002, Xspedius purchased substantially all of the assets of Virginia-based e.spire Communications. The e.spire acquisition created a combined telecommunications company providing service in 55 markets in 20 states with more than 3,500 total route miles of fiber, over 600 On-Net buildings and over 150 collocated end offices.

The January 2003 acquisition of Mpower Communications' Texas assets added more than 7,000 customers and more than 60 collocated end offices in the Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio markets.

Xspedius' vibrant history and future center on growth. This starts with a fiscally responsible business strategy that allows Xspedius to drive revenue and profit internally - as we have done for 8 straight quarters. As external opportunities allow, Xspedius will pursue more acquisitions that fit this model and enhance the networks that serve our customers.

In April, 2005, Xspedius purchased the business and assets of ICG Communications Inc. in five markets across the Southeast, adding another 194 buildings and 500 more fiber miles to its network. The acquisition enhanced Xspedius' presence in four markets it currently serves - Atlanta, Birmingham, Louisville and Nashville - and brought Charlotte, NC, into its footprint.
