Atlantic Broadband, the eighth largest cable operator in the US, has signed a definitive agreement to purchase Thames Valley Communications, a broadband service provider operating in South-eastern Connecticut. The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and is expected to close within three months. Upon closing of the transaction, Atlantic Broadband will add approximately 10,000 customers to its operations in Connecticut.
This acquisition allows Atlantic Broadband to expand its presence in a market where the company is already well established following its USD200 million acquisition of MetroCast’s Connecticut operations in 2015.
