The company name was changed to Conversent in 2000. Conversent acquired REON broadband corporation, Fibernet of West Virginia and Northeast Data Vault before the One Communications merger. In 2005 they became one of the first telephony carriers to introduce the concept of "Dynamic Bandwidth" as an official product. {{Citation needed|date=December 2010}} Dynamic Bandwidth works by transmitting voice and data over a T1 connection using ATM as the underlying protocol. The amount of available bandwidth for data "expands" by 64k for each voice line not in use. When a voice line goes off-hook, the bandwidth reserved for that voice line becomes solely available for use with that line until the call ends, when it becomes usable for data again. Using this concept, a T1 that would normally provide 768k of data and 12 voice lines can provide a full 1.536 Mbit/s connection when no voice lines are in use. CTC and Choice One announced the acquisition of Conversent on March 28, 2006.[10] The acquisition was completed in July 2006.[11] Notes1. ^Mass High Tech (2006) 2. ^Earthlink (2010) 3. ^Earthlink (2011) 4. ^Boston Business Journal (2002) 5. ^All Business (2003) 6. ^Columbia Ventures Corporation (2005) 7. ^Network World (2006) 8. ^PR Newswire (2006) 9. ^Mass High Tech (2006) 10. ^PR Newswire (2006) 11. ^Mass High Tech (2006) References
