Los Angeles Small Businesses Benefit from Cbeyond's Expanded Business Phone Service Coverage

ATLANTA, Sep 30, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cbeyond (NASDAQ: CBEY), a provider of communications and IT solutions to more than 46,000 small businesses across the country, announced today the company has expanded its Los Angeles serving area. The expanded local serving area now allows for more small businesses in the Southern California market to benefit from Cbeyond's voice, data and mobile business communications and IT applications.

Cbeyond can now serve customers in both the Verizon and AT&T service areas, from Glendora to Long Beach and Santa Monica to Riverside. In addition, small business customers will have the ability to call at a local rate to customers and prospects hundreds of miles away, saving on what would otherwise be rated and charged as long distance calls.

"L.A. is one of the largest metropolitan markets in the country and small businesses that serve the area need to cover significant ground," said Mark Deo, Los Angeles-based host of the Small Business Radio show. "By expanding its services, Cbeyond small business customers are able to more cost-effectively serve their clients throughout the region. You can't find the kind of reliability of voice and data services coupled with IT applications designed for small businesses in a bundle like you can with Cbeyond - it's something every small business owner should consider to run and grow their business."

Los Angeles' small businesses and entrepreneurs can grow using Cbeyond's reliable business-grade communications and IT services at prices they can afford. Cbeyond offers more than 30 applications including local and long distance business phone service, broadband Internet access, mobile business communications, and IT applications that businesses require to enhance productivity such as Hosted Microsoft(R) Exchange email platform, Web Hosting, and Secure Backup & Fileshare.

"My small business locations and the customers we serve are throughout the L.A. area, covering hundreds of miles," said Daniel Lopez, Operations Manager for Best Buy Insurance. "With Cbeyond's expanded service, I don't have to worry about spending too much money on long-distance calls, and I have the peace of mind knowing how much I will spend every month on business phone service. When you add to this the reliability of Cbeyond's voice and data services and the ease with which I manage our account online via Cbeyond Online, it's a win-win for our business.
