Former Sprint Wireline Network Now in Cogent’s Hands with Close of T-Mobile Deal

Cogent Communications has completed the previously announced acquisition of T-Mobile’s Wireline Business. The price of the deal was not disclosed. The acquisition, initially announced in September 2022, calls for Cogent to buy T-Mobile’s wireline business (formerly known as Sprint GMG), which was comprised of the long-haul fiber network assets that the company acquired when it merged with Sprint. Cogent expects the T-Mobile wireline business to “complement and eventually replace Cogent’s current leased network” as well as enable Cogent to “expand its product set, including the sales of optical wave transport services to new and existing customers.”
