"We will continue to build out our fiber infrastructure in NYC to enable direct high-performance connections that will ensure businesses can run at full throttle." He added, "Our traffic growth is tremendously gratifying, a terabit per second is a huge milestone for us, and we're prepared to handle much, much more. Looking forward, we expect bandwidth demand from businesses to continued its torrid growth."

Other key company milestones include:
