Founded in 1998, Cavalier Telephone and TV is a Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) operating in 16 states and DC throughout the eastern US. Cavalier has over $1 billion in network assets and currently provides voice and data services to more than 650,000 business and residential customers on our own private network. Cavalier also provides services to government and wholesale customers. Network build-outs in 531 end offices and 11,000 fiber route miles, our network reaches more than 1.5 million businesses.

Cavalier has had a particularly rocky relationship with Verizon Wireless. In 2001, Cavalier brought a lawsuit against Verizon alleging antitrust violations and violations of the Telecom Act of 1996. The suit was dismissed by United States District Court Judge, James R. Spencer in March of 2002. The dismissal was upheld on appeal in May of 2003. In 2007, Cavalier sued Verizon in federal court again, alleging misuse of Virginia's 911 database.
