This allowed the companies to design a complete end-to-end solution, coupled with cost effective, wholesale pricing and a reliable circuit to support the customer’s call center operations. “Our relationship with f6networks is mutually beneficial, as we are now able to serve more customers in more places,” says [Kurt Van Wagenen](https://www.firstlight.net/company/management-team/kurt-van-wagenen/), President and CEO of FirstLight. “Coupled with our recent acquisitions of Oxford Networks and Sovernet Communications, the relationship with f6networks further enhances our capabilities to the benefit of our customers.” The FirstLight network has 9,600 route miles of fiber and more than 5,000 lit locations, with access to 20,000 near net locations, in six states with connectivity to Montreal. “We sought a relationship with a provider that had a strong presence throughout the Northeastern U.S.,” explains Thomas Rivington, CEO of f6networks. “FirstLight has enabled us to offer comprehensive solutions to our clients and, through our dealings with FirstLight, we have gained confidence in FirstLight’s network and capabilities – a combination that is imperative to our customers.
