"Our fourth quarter results highlight the benefits of being a nationwide, complete communications provider singularly focused on fulfilling the needs of our diverse customer base," said President and CEO, Vincent M.

"Some of the key drivers of our success last quarter were our Metro-Fiber sales, which increased by 179% this quarter as compared to the first quarter of 2015, along with a steadily rising demand for our Cloud services."

"This quarter was defined by top-performing markets in Atlanta, Houston and Miami. We're very pleased to have such strong year-end results and attribute much of our growth to our ongoing Metro-Fiber expansion initiative in key markets around the country. By successfully forming new and refining existing business agreements with key partners we were able to expand our service availability and increase sales steadily to deliver solutions that meet our customers' current and growing needs," said Christopher Ramsey, Senior Vice President and Chief Sales Officer at Birch. Ramsey continued, "These are critical components of our long-term plan and we are thrilled to drive the momentum and look forward to setting new sales records across many of our product lines in 2016.
