One Communications is a Rochester, NY and Waltham, MA-based CLEC providing Telecommunications services to commercial entities. The company was founded in 1998 as an "alternative to the incumbent local phone carriers". As of 2008 the company operates in 16 states, throughout the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest regions providing local, long distance, data and internet services to the small and mid-sized business.

In 2005 they became one of the first telephony carriers to introduce the concept of "Dynamic Bandwidth" as an official product. Dynamic Bandwidth works by transmitting voice and data over a T1 connection using ATM as the underlying protocol. The amount of available bandwidth for data "expands" by 64k for each voice line not in use. When a voice line goes off-hook, the bandwidth reserved for that voice line becomes solely available for use with that line until the call ends, when it becomes usable for data again. Using this concept, a T1 that would normally provide 768k of data and 12 voice lines can provide a full 1.536 Mbit/s connection when no voice lines are in use.

In 2006, One Communications was formed out of a merger between CTC Communications, Conversant Communications and Choice One Communications. [http://onecommunications.com/]
