About Everstream

Everstream operates as a business-only fiber network provider, catering to the connectivity needs of mid-sized and large enterprise businesses primarily in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. The company was established in 2014 and is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. Brett Lindsey served as the Chief Executive Officer from its inception in 2014, overseeing a significant expansion of its fiber network from 2,500 to over 25,000 route miles. His prior experience includes serving as COO of OneCommunity, where he managed the $100 million network expansion that would eventually become Everstream. As of May 2025, Ken Fitzpatrick is the President and CEO.

The company's core business revolves around providing high-capacity, low-latency fiber-based services. Its offerings include Dedicated Internet Access (DIA), dark fiber, Ethernet, data center connectivity, and wavelength services, with speeds reaching up to 100 Gbps. Everstream's business model focuses exclusively on serving business clients, positioning itself as an alternative to larger telecom providers by emphasizing direct relationships and customized solutions. This business-only approach allows for a network infrastructure and service model tailored to enterprise-grade requirements, supporting critical operations and scalability. The company serves a diverse range of industries, including healthcare, finance, education, and government.

Everstream's network consists of more than 27,500 route miles of fiber and connects to over 63 data centers. The company has pursued an aggressive growth strategy through both greenfield fiber builds and strategic acquisitions. A significant event in its history was the 2018 acquisition by AMP Capital, a global investment manager, which fueled its expansion into new markets like Chicago, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. In May 2025, Everstream announced an agreement to sell the majority of its operations to Bluebird Fiber and commenced voluntary chapter 11 proceedings to facilitate the transaction, aiming to optimize its core market strategy from a stronger financial position.
