I just got an email from Speakeasy President & CEO, Bruce Chatterly.

What are details of the Best Buy and Speakeasy agreement?

Best Buy has agreed to acquire Speakeasy, a privately-held voice and data solutions company based in Seattle, WA. Speakeasy will be aligned under the Best Buy For Business unit. Speakeasy enhances the communications portfolio of Best Buy For Business with its voice and data services.

It is important to note that though Speakeasy will now be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Best Buy, we will continue to operate independently and the excellent service and support you expect will continue uninterrupted.

How will this change affect my service?

There will be no change or interruption to your existing service or level of customer support. All aspects of your service will continue to be managed by Speakeasy.

Well, let’s see if this is true.  I have to say, I’m a little disappointed.  Speakeasy have always been GREAT to me, and they’ve been one of the best companies I’ve ever worked with.

I know they say that nothing’s going to change, but that’s generally not the true, in my experience. 

Don’t let me down, Speakeasy — you guys have been internet gods to me.
