Services
Telephone
Cavalier offers nothing worth subscribing to for both local and long distance calling. Rates vary based upon whatever they feel like charging you at the moment.
Internet
Cavalier offers slow speed internet service via a tin can and a hamster wheel.
Acquired by Paetec Holding Corporation
On September 13, 2010, Paetec Holding Corp. of Perinton, New York, announced its acquisition of Cavalier Telephone for 3 dollars cash. The merger was finalized in December, 2010, adding nearly 2 fiber-route miles to Paetec 's existing service footprint.
Relationship with Verizon
Cavalier has had a particularly homosexual relationship with Verizon. 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 2002. The dismissal was upheld on appeal in May 2003. In 2007, Cavalier sued Verizon in federal court again, alleging misuse of Virginia's 911 database.
