Legal disclaimer
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this presentation and in any accompanying oral remarks made in connection with this presentation are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of securities laws. You
should not place undue reliance on these statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning our liquidity and our possible or assumed future results of operations, including
descriptions of our business strategies, as well as cost savings and other benefits we expect to achieve (and the timing thereof) as discussed herein. These statements often include words such as
“believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “estimate,” “seek,” “will,” “may” or similar expressions. These statements are based on certain assumptions that we have made in light of our
experience in the industry as well as our perceptions of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors we believe are appropriate in these circumstances. You
should understand that these statements are not guarantees of performance or results. They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are discussed in detail in the Company’s most recent
Form 10-K Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 17, 2016 and our Form 10-Q Quarterly Reports subsequently
filed with the SEC which should be read in conjunction with this presentation.

Furthermore, we have not yet filed the Company’s Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 with the SEC. When the Company ultimately files its Form 10-Q Quarterly
Report with the SEC, actual results and financial information related to the quarter ended September 30, 2016 could differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements contained
herein as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control. The Company assumes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new
information or future developments.

Third Party Information


This presentation has been prepared by the Company and includes information from other sources believed by management to be reliable. No representation or warranty, express or implied, is made
as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information set forth herein. This presentation may contain summaries of the terms of certain documents and agreements, but reference is made to the
actual documents and agreements for the complete information contained therein. The information contained herein is as of the date hereof and is subject to change, completion or amendment
without notice.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation, including Pro Forma Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Capital Expenditures. We
believe such measures are commonly used by investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors. These measures are not presentations made in accordance with GAAP and our use of
such terms varies from others in our industry. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to total revenue, net income (loss), operating income, total capital expenditures or any other
performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP financial measures have important
limitations as analytical tools and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, a
discussion regarding the limitations of their use and a reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, “Unaudited Pro
Forma Financial Information” and “Unaudited Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures” in the Appendix to this presentation.

Pro Forma Financial Information


The SEC requires that pro forma financial information be presented in a registrant’s periodic filings when events occur for which disclosure would be material to investors, including a significant business
combination or the disposition of a significant portion of a business. The significance of an acquired or disposed business is determined based on the “significant subsidiary” tests specified in Regulation
S-X, Article 11, Rule 1-02(w). In this regard, the Company has made certain acquisitions and divestitures which do not meet the “significant subsidiary” tests. Accordingly, the Company’s historical
financial information as filed with the SEC does not contain pro forma financial information relating to those transactions.

Nevertheless, this presentation makes certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial information of the Company giving effect to those transactions as if such transactions had been
completed at the beginning of each period presented because we believe such information would be meaningful to investors by showing how such transactions might have affected the Company’s
historical financial statements. For a discussion regarding such pro forma information and reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, see “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial
Information” and “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures” in the Appendix to this presentation.

WOW! Business Services: Integrated Strategic Approach

 Legacy WOW! and Legacy Knology had differing approaches to and prioritization of commercial segment
— Limited legacy WOW! product portfolio and operational support; focused primarily on very small business sector
with the exception of Evansville
— Knology had extensive product portfolio serving wide breadth of commercial customers; operations and sales
practices not created for scale however

 Since the Knology acquisition, have focused on the restructuring necessary to build scale in support of
significant demand opportunity
 Today, processes & procedures, product strategy, support structure, etc., are rationalized for efficiency
and effectiveness
 Strategically focused on building a consistent, predictable practice of transactional sales while
aggressively ensuring competitiveness to drive market share gain
 Multiple distribution channels utilized to capture opportunities across a variety of customer segments:
— Field Sales - recently reorganized to align account executives against specific customer segments (SMB vs. Mid vs.
Large Locals) rather than territory
— Call Center - primarily inbound new sales and upgrades to existing customers
— Wholesale - carrier (wireline and wireless) channel is set up to maximize network assets and/or fund expansion of
fiber network and footprint
— Multiple contracts to provide back‐haul services to over 1,100 towers/small cell sites in our Chicago market;
when fully deployed, annualized total MRR will be ~ $11 million
— Indirect – network of large Masters and sub-agents who represent potential growth opportunity by providing
significant scale with salespeople and sales prospecting

PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL ║ 9


Edge-Out Growth Opportunity
 WOW! has historically invested success-based, discretionary capital to selectively expand
the Company's network with excellent success
 Between 2008 – 2012, the Company invested over $100+ million in edge‐out projects
• Typically achieved customer penetration rates of more than ~ 20% of new homes
passed within 12 months following completion of construction
• On average, edge‐out projects have achieved cash/cash IRRs of ~ 20% (before
application of a terminal value to incremental Adjusted EBITDA)
 Elevated levels of capital expenditures, however, following the Knology acquisition in 2012
to integrate the Knology network & back-office infrastructure (i.e. all-digital upgrades, etc.)
have prevented investment in edge-out growth opportunities since 2012
 New primary equity investment from Crestview, however, has enabled WOW! to once again
pursue these opportunities going-forward
 In excess of $200 million of such edge-out opportunities have been initially identified with
similarly favorable return characteristics providing a relatively low-risk growth opportunity

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We have included certain non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation including Pro Forma Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA
and Pro Forma Capital Expenditures. We believe that these non-GAAP measures enhance an investor’s understanding of our financial performance. We
believe that these non-GAAP measures are useful financial metrics to assess our operating performance from period to period by excluding certain items that
we believe are not representative of our core business. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide investors with useful information for assessing the
comparability between periods of our ability to generate cash from operations sufficient to pay taxes, to service debt and to undertake capital expenditures.
We use these non-GAAP measures for business planning purposes and in measuring our performance relative to that of our competitors. We believe these
non-GAAP measures are measures commonly used by Investors to evaluate our performance and that of our competitors.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined by WOW! as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (including impairments),
gains (losses) realized and unrealized on derivative instruments, management fees to related party, the write-up or off of any asset, debt modification
expenses, loss on extinguishment of debt, integration and restructuring expenses and all non-cash charges and expenses (including equity based compensation
expense) and certain other income and expenses, as further defined in our credit facilities. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) and our use of the term Adjusted EBITDA varies from others in our industry. Adjusted
EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss), operating income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP
as measures of operating performance or operating cash flows or as measures of liquidity. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool and
you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
• excludes certain tax payments that may represent a reduction in cash available to us;
• does not reflect any cash capital expenditure requirements for the assets being depreciated and amortized that may have to be replaced in the future;
• does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs; and
• does not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt.
Furthermore, although the Company has made certain acquisitions and divestitures which do not meet the SEC’s “significant subsidiary” tests which would
require the presentation of pro forma financial information in its periodic filings, Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures in this presentation
are presented on a pro forma basis, giving effect to our increased investment in Anne Arundel Broadband (“AAB”) on May 1, 2014, our divestiture of the South
Dakota systems on September 30, 2014 and our acquisition of the operating assets of HC Cable Opco, LLC (dba “NuLink”) on September 9, 2016 as if such
transactions had been completed at the beginning of each period presented. See “Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information” and “Unaudited Reconciliations
of GAAP to Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures” on the following pages and the accompanying tables for reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial
measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

PROPRIETARY & CONFIDENTIAL ║ 20


Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) requires that pro forma financial information be presented in a registrant’s periodic filings when
events occur for which disclosure would be material to investors, including significant business combinations or the disposition of a significant portion of
the business. The significance of an acquired or disposed business is determined based on the “significant subsidiary” tests specified in Regulation S-X,
Article 11, Rule 1-02(w). In this regard, although the Company has made certain acquisitions and divestitures, such transactions do not meet the
“significant subsidiary” tests and, accordingly, the Company’s historical financial information as filed with the SEC does not contain pro forma financial
information relating to those transactions.

Nevertheless, this presentation makes certain pro forma adjustments to the historical financial information of the Company as filed with the SEC because
we believe such information would be meaningful to investors by showing how such transactions might have affected the Company’s historical financial
statements. The unaudited pro forma financial information in this presentation has been prepared giving effect to our increased investment in AAB on
May 1, 2014, our divestiture of the Company’s South Dakota systems on September 30, 2014 and our acquisition of the operating assets of NuLink on
September 9, 2016 as if such transactions had been completed at the beginning of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma financial information
is for informational purposes only and does not purport to represent what our results of operations or financial information would have been if such
transactions had occurred at any date, nor does such information purport to project the results of operations for any future period.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this presentation was prepared based on NuLink’s and AAB’s unaudited financial
information for the respective periods presented. The historical unaudited financial information has been adjusted to give pro forma effect to events that
are directly attributable to such transactions, factually supportable and expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The unaudited pro
forma financial information herein does not reflect non-recurring charges that have been incurred in connection with the transactions and related
financings, including legal fees, broker fees and accounting fees.

See “Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP and Pro Forma Financial Measures” in the following tables for reconciliations of such pro forma
information to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

The unaudited pro forma financial information herein should be read in conjunction with the information contained in “Management’s Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes appearing in our most
recently filed Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as filed with the SEC on March 17, 2016 and subsequent quarterly filings on Form 10-Q.

Furthermore, we have not yet filed the Company’s Form 10-Q Quarterly Report for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 with the SEC. When the
Company ultimately files its Form 10-Q Quarterly Report with the SEC, actual results and financial information related to the quarter ended September 30,
2016 could differ materially from those reflected in the forward-looking statements contained herein as a result of a variety of factors, many of which are
beyond the Company’s control. The Company assumes no responsibility to update or revise any forward-looking statements as a result of new information
or future developments.

Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP
and Pro Forma Financial Measures (cont’d)

Notes to Unaudited Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures:


(1) Represents our management’s estimate of pre-acquisition Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures of HC Cable Opco, LLC d/b/a NuLink
(“NuLink”) for the periods preceding our acquisition of substantially all of the operating assets of NuLink on September 9, 2016 based on the books and records
of NuLink, as adjusted by our management to reflect the assets actually acquired. We believe that, based on operating data, including operating data for the
period following our acquisition of NuLink (from September 9, 2016 through September 30, 2016), the pro forma amounts represent a reasonable estimate of
Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures from NuLink’s operations. However, there can be no assurances that such results accurately reflect
the actual results of the acquired assets of NuLink for the periods preceding September 9, 2016. Such amounts are presented solely for the purposes of
presenting the calculation of Pro Forma Total Revenue, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Capital Expenditures based on information set forth in the
books and records of NuLink as provided to us by NuLink at the time of the acquisition. Such amounts are unaudited and have not been verified by our
management.
(2) Represents our management’s estimate of pre-acquisition Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures of Anne Arundel Broadband (“AAB”) for
the periods preceding our increased investment in AAB on April 30, 2014 based on the books and records of AAB, as adjusted by our management to reflect
the assets actually acquired. We believe that, based on operating data, including operating data for the period following our increased investment in AAB
(from May 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014), the pro forma amounts represent a reasonable estimate of Total Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and Capital
Expenditures from AAB’s operations. However, there can be no assurances that such results accurately reflect the actual results of the acquired assets of AAB
for the periods preceding April 30, 2014. Such amounts are presented solely for the purposes of presenting the calculation of Pro Forma Total Revenue, Pro
Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Capital Expenditures based on information set forth in the books and records of AAB as provided to us by AAB at the

on September 30, 2014 based on the individual books and records of the South Dakota systems. Such amounts have been extracted from the consolidated
financial statements for the Company which has been audited. We believe that such pro forma amounts represent a reasonable estimate of Total Revenue,
Adjusted EBITDA and Capital Expenditures for the South Dakota systems for the periods proceeding our divestiture, however, the individual books and records
of the South Dakota systems have not been unaudited. There can be no assurances that such results accurately reflect the actual results of the South Dakota
systems for the periods preceding September 30, 2014. Such amounts are presented solely for the purposes of presenting the calculation of Pro Forma Total
Revenue, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA and Pro Forma Capital Expenditures based on information set forth in the Company’s books and records at the time of
the divestiture.
