"By turning up its own switch, G4 gives the entire state of New Hampshire a compelling alternative to dealing with traditional providers."

"After several meetings, we were not only impressed with the flexibility and the scalability of the CopperCom switch but also with their people and their financial backing," said Cav. "We are forging a relationship that we anticipate will last for many years, and I have confidence that CopperCom will be with us every step of the way."
