How Does This Affect You?

In the immediate future, you can expect the same high level of service with no disruptions. In the coming months, we’ll work on a seamless transition to combine our operations, which means expanded solutions and capabilities for you. Your current services, billing and support team will remain the same as we work to enhance your experience, make more services available and deliver even greater value.

We’re incredibly excited about this merger and the opportunities it brings.
