If there is one thing I have learned from following basketball my whole life, it is that championship teams aren’t built on flashy plays or individual stats. They’re built on fundamentals, teamwork, and making sure every player on the team knows their role and executes. When you watch great teams like the Celtics or the Lakers in their prime, you see seamless teamwork –making the right pass at the right time to players who trust each other completely, and a deep bench who work hard at practice and during the game all focused on one goal—winning the championship! 

We’re your trusted infrastructure partner with the same championship-caliber team you’ve relied on, now with the depth and capacity to make connectivity simple no matter what your network demands. 

The Fundamentals That Stay Put  

Let me be clear about what’s not changing with the new Uniti Wholesale.  We have the same experienced starting lineup you trust to deliver results. Your account managers, engineers, and service delivery experts remain your primary contacts. 

We remain customer-first in our playbook and approach to deliver what we commit to: quotes stay quick, solutions stay tailored, and delivery is fast.   

What Actually Changes (The Championship Upgrades) 

Here’s where the merger truly changes the game.  Our infrastructure now includes unrestricted access to high-count long-haul and metro fiber. No more lease agreement limitations—we can deliver the capacity you need, when you need it, because we own it all. 

Our expanded network is positioned for the future capacity demands of AI and hyperscaler growth. And like a team with a deep bench, we now have the resources to pursue growth opportunities and extend our reach that weren’t possible before. 

This means: More fiber inventory. More routes. More options. And the financial flexibility to invest ahead of demand, placing high-capacity fiber and co-location where and when you need it. 

With our combined resources at your fingertips, you can scale faster than ever before. From our dark fiber construction projects to our enhanced 100G/400G/800G optical network capabilities across a nationwide footprint, you can reach more markets, faster, while we handle the engineering complexity behind the scenes 

Ready for What’s Coming 

Here’s what the Tier 1 giants won’t tell you:  their networks stop where ours keep going.  Our combined footprint pushes capacity into Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets, the secondary cities and niche routes that power your business.   

For too long you had to choose between large bureaucratic carriers with reach but little personal service, or smaller providers that cared but couldn’t follow your expansion.  This merger changes the playbook entirely.   You get the responsiveness and partnership approach you value with the scale and reach to support your growth nationwide.   

Day 1 Felt Ordinary on Purpose 

Your account teams, processes and service levels never skipped a beat.   Months of preparation aligned our systems and automation so everything that worked before now works even better, giving you business-as-usual continuity on a far stronger foundation.    

Looking Forward 

We are your trusted infrastructure partner, now with a nationwide next-gen optical backbone that can handle whatever your business demands. Our customer-first infrastructure approach now includes access to significantly more network assets and the ability to expand rapidly when opportunities arise. 

At the end of the day, this merger is about having the resources to be an even better partner. We make connectivity simple by removing the barriers that used to limit what we could do together. And let’s face it, with all the mergers happening in our industry right now, what matters most to you as a customer is this: What can I expect? Why is this good for me? 

The answer is straightforward. You get the same great people, the same trusted approach, and the same simple product portfolio (dark fiber, waves, ethernet, internet and towers) – with significantly more capability and resources behind it. You get diversity in your network and diversity in your spend. You get a partner that can grow with your AI workloads, your expansion plans, and whatever comes next. 

Like a championship team, we combine rock-solid fundamentals, seasoned players, and the deepest bench in the game that will outwork anyone. Whether it’s a complex multi-market build or AI-scale transport, we execute today and adapt to whatever comes next……edge to core, simple and reliable.
