WOW, Wave Buy Broadstripe Customers Washington, Oregon, and Michigan Assets Divvied Up Roughly two and a half years after filing for Chapter 11 and insisting they'd emerge as a "stronger, more competitive company with the resources to continue to provide our customers with best-in-class products and services," Broadstripe has been chopped up and sold. The company (see our user reviews) has been divvied up between WideOpenWest and Wave Broadband. According to Multichannel News, Wave has agreed to pay $32 million for Broadstripe's networks in Washington and Oregon, which service 60,000 connected customers and pass 103,000 customers. WOW will be paying roughly $55 million for Broadstripe assets in Michigan with about 48,000 current customers and 92,000 homes passed. The remainder of Broadstripe's assets are in Maryland, and are being acquired for $8 million by a newly-formed company named Ann Arundel Broadband (in part run by former Broadstripe executives).
