Combined Company Over $400 Million of Revenue in Northeast and Mid-Atlantic

RYE BROOK, NY—October 12, 2006- Broadview Networks Holdings, Inc. today announced it completed the acquisition of ATX Communications, Inc., an integrated communications and managed services provider that serves business customers in the Mid-Atlantic region, on September 29, 2006. On a combined basis, the Company has annual trailing revenues of approximately $400 million, driven by offering voice and data communications solutions to small and medium-sized business customers. The Company will now operate in 20 markets throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic United States, including major metropolitan cities such as New York, Philadelphia, Boston, and the DC/Baltimore corridor.

Together, Broadview Networks and ATX offer a full suite of voice, data, hardware, and managed network and security solutions focused on serving the demands of communications intensive business customers. Powered by a network of 10 switches including next generation softswitches and MPLS equipment, the privately held entity has over 2,300 route miles of fiber, approximately 250 collocations, and more than 600,000 lines in service.

“When we announced the ATX transaction in June, the focus was on bringing together two great companies committed to delivering innovative and cost effective solutions to customers in our target markets,” said Michael K. Robinson, Chief Executive Officer of Broadview Networks. “The teams at Broadview and ATX share a common passion for excellence in customer care and delivering on our promises.”

“The integration of the two companies is underway, and we expect to be largely complete in early 2007,” continued Robinson. “Along the way, our goal is to select best practices from the two organizations and to focus on serving our customers’ complex communications needs.”

“The more time we spend together, the better we feel about the combination of the two enterprises,” added Robinson. “The opportunity to put together two networks, two product sets, and two talented teams will provide new and existing customers with even better options than before. We will be able to offer traditional and IP-based solutions across our footprint and do so with the same dedication to customer care that has been the foundation for Broadview and ATX customer relationships.”

Broadview Networks financed the ATX transaction with a portion of the proceeds received from its recent $210 million offering of 11 3/8% Senior Secured Notes due 2012. Jefferies & Company, Inc. served as the sole book-running manager for the offering. The Senior Secured Notes were offered to qualified institutional buyers as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), to non-U.S. persons outside the United States under Regulation S of the Securities Act and to a limited number of institutional accredited investors within the meaning of Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of the Securities Act. Broadview Networks has agreed to offer to exchange the Senior Secured Notes for notes registered under the Securities Act in 2007.

In addition to the purchase of ATX, proceeds from the offering were used to repay Broadview Networks’ existing senior indebtedness and for transaction expenses and general corporate purposes. As part of the financing, Broadview Networks’ existing sponsors invested an additional $10 million and converted over $70 million of subordinated debt, including the $10 million of new investment, to equity. In addition to the Senior Secured Notes, Broadview Networks secured a $25 million revolving credit facility, which was undrawn at closing. CIT Group/Business Credit Inc. serves as the administrative agent and collateral agent for the revolving credit facility.

Details of the acquisition transaction were not released. Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP advised Broadview Networks.
