The buyout, which was finalized on Thursday, included the RocketColo.net network, servers, and all other company assets. RocketColo.net is currently located in the same datacenter as Vortech Inc, so the transition is expected to be extremely smooth.

“All clients of RocketColo will enjoy additional connectivity at no additional charge, as we are including them in our network,” said Pugh. Connectivity to Progress Telcom, AT&T, Level(3), Sprint, and Cogent has been added.

In addition, customers of RocketColo.net will be offered an upgrade to 1000 GB of monthly bandwidth at no additional charge. No downtime is expected during the transition.
