Thank you, and good morning to everyone. Welcome to our second quarter 2020 earnings conference call. I'm Dave Schaeffer, Cogent's CEO. And with me on this morning's call is Sean Wallace, our Chief Financial Officer.

We continue to be optimistic about the underlying strength in our business, the growing importance and breadth of our network, and most importantly, the increasing profitability of our operations. We remain confident in our outlook for 2020 and beyond even with the continuing impact and uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On a constant currency basis, we achieved sequential quarterly revenue growth of 0.2% and year-over-year revenue growth for the second quarter of 5.1% on a constant currency basis. A reduction in universal service fees, excise taxes and the rate associated with them this quarter reduced our sequential quarterly revenues by $450,000.

On a constant currency basis and adjusting
