PAETEC Holding Corp. (NASDAQ GS: PAET) announced that the research firm, ATLANTIC-ACM, presented it with the Voice Value Award in the CLEC/Cable/Fiber category for both Enterprise and Small Medium Businesses (SMBs). The honor was announced on August 11 at the Business Connectivity and Wireless Carrier Excellence Awards at the downtown Harvard Club of Boston.

The awards were based on results from the 2009 Business Connectivity and Wireless Report Card, which rates carriers in key product and service categories based on more than 3,000 individual customer evaluations.

"We're honored to receive this award, especially since it's a result of direct feedback from our customers," said PAETEC Chief Operating Officer E.J. Butler. "Not only do we deliver innovative communication solutions with unmatched service across our 42 state operating territory, but this research by ATLANTIC-ACM demonstrates that our voice services also deliver an industry-leading value."

"We're continuing to expand and invest in our IP-based voice services using our Dynamic IP platform as well as assisting our customers in the transition from traditional TDM to powerful VoIP solutions," said John Chapman, senior vice president of marketing. "For example, in May we opened the new Bay Area switch in Northern California completely on Dynamic IP and recently expanded the platform to New Orleans and Mobile, with other cities planned in 2010."
