our exceptional maximum consumer broadband speed allows us to continue to meet the needs of our customers and the demand for higher speed resulting from the growing trend of over-the-top ( ott ) content viewing . the availability of 1gbps data speed also complements our wireless home networking ( wi-fi ) that supports our tv everywhere service which launched in 2013 , and allows our subscribers to watch their favorite programs at home or away on a computer , smartphone or tablet . as of december 31 , 2014 , our video service was available to approximately 579,000 homes in the markets we serve , with an approximate 21 % penetration rate . as of december 31 , 2014 , we had approximately 123,000 video subscribers , an 11 % increase from 2013 primarily as a result of the enventis acquisition . we are continually expanding our commercial product offerings for both small and large businesses to capitalize on industry technological advances . in 2014 , we gained strategic advantage through the acquisition of enventis , which earlier in the year launched a suite of cloud services that increases efficiency and reduces it costs for our customers . in addition , we launched an enhanced hosted voice product , which enables greater scalability and reliability for businesses . we anticipate future momentum in new business revenue as these new products gain traction . the increase in our operating revenues during 2014 was offset in part by an anticipated industry wide trend of a decline in access lines and related network access . many consumers are choosing to subscribe to alternative communications services and competition for these subscribers continues to increase . competition from wireless providers , competitive local exchange carriers and in some cases cable television providers has increased in recent years in the markets we serve . we have been able to mitigate some of the access line losses through marketing initiatives and product offerings , such as our voip service . in addition , our video connection growth is decelerating . excluding enventis subscribers of approximately 12,000 , our increase in connections was less than 1 % over 2013. this trend is driven by changing consumer viewing habits , which we believe will continue to impact our business model and strategy of providing consumers the necessary broadband speed to facilitate ott content viewing . as discussed in the regulatory matters section below , our operating revenues are also impacted by legislative or regulatory changes at the federal and state levels , which could reduce or eliminate the current subsidies revenue we receive . a number of proceedings and recent orders relate to universal service reform , intercarrier compensation and network access charges . there are various ongoing legal challenges to the orders that have been issued . as a result , it is not yet possible to determine fully the impact of the regulatory changes on our operations . significant recent developments enventis merger on october 16 , 2014 , we completed our merger with enventis corporation , a minnesota corporation ( enventis ) , and acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of enventis in exchange for shares of our common stock . as a result , enventis became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company . each share of common stock , no par value , of enventis converted into and became the right to receive 0.7402 shares of common stock , par value of $ 0.01 per share , of our common stock plus cash in lieu of fractional shares as set forth in the merger agreement . based on the closing price of our common stock at $ 25.40 per share on the date preceding the merger , the total value of the purchase consideration exchanged was $ 257.7 million , excluding $ 149.9 million paid to extinguish enventis ' outstanding debt . on the date of the merger , we issued an aggregate total of 10.1 million shares of our common stock to the former enventis shareholders . enventis is an advanced communications provider , which services business and residential customers primarily in the upper midwest . the acquisition reflects our strategy to diversify revenue and cash flows amongst multiple products and to expand our network to new markets . the financial results for enventis have been included in our consolidated financial statements as of the acquisition date . 39 in conjunction with the acquisition , we completed an offering of $ 200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.50 % senior notes due in 2022 ( the 2022 notes ) . the net proceeds from the issuance of the 2022 notes were used to finance the acquisition of enventis including related fees and expenses and for the repayment of the existing indebtedness of enventis . a portion of the proceeds , together with cash on hand , was also used to repurchase $ 46.8 million of our 10.875 % senior notes due 2020 ( the 2020 notes ) , as described in the liquidity and capital resources section below . discontinued operations on september 13 , 2013 , we completed the sale of the assets and contractual rights used to provide communications services to thirteen county jails located in illinois . the sale was completed for an aggregate purchase price of $ 2.5 million , resulting in a gain of $ 1.3 million , net of tax . the financial results of the operations for prison services have been reported as discontinued operations in our consolidated financial statements for the years ended on or before december 31 , 2013. surewest merger on july 2 , 2012 , we completed the merger with surewest , which resulted in the acquisition of 100 % of all the outstanding shares of surewest for $ 23.00 per share in a cash and stock transaction . story_separator_special_tag failure to meet the annual data and certification deadlines can result in reduced support to the etc based on the length of the delay in certification . for the calendar year 2013 , the california state certification was due to be filed with the fcc on or before october 1 , 2012. we were notified in january 2013 that surewest communications ( surewest ) did not submit the required certification to the california public utilities commission ( cpuc ) in time to be included in its october 1 , 2012 , submission to the fcc . on january 24 , 2013 , we filed a certification with the cpuc and filed a petition with the fcc for a waiver of the filing deadline for the annual state certification . on february 19 , 2013 , the cpuc filed a certification with the fcc with respect to surewest . on october 29 , 2013 , the wireline competition bureau of the fcc denied our petition for a waiver of the annual certification deadline . on november 26 , 2013 , we applied for a review of the decision made by the fcc staff by the full commission . management is optimistic , based on the change in surewest telephone 's usf filing status caused by the change in the ownership of surewest telephone , the lack of formal notice by the fcc regarding this change in filing status , the fact that surewest telephone had a previously-filed certification of compliance in effect with the fcc for the two quarters for which usf was withheld , and the fcc 's past practice of granting waivers to accept late filings in similar situations , that the company may prevail in its application to the commission and receive usf funding for the period january 1 , 2013 , through june 30 , 2013. however , due to the denial of our petition by the wireline competition bureau and the uncertainty of the collectability of the previously recognized revenues , in december 2013 we reversed the $ 3.0 million of previously recognized revenues until such time that the commission has the opportunity to reach a decision on our application for review . our recently acquired enventis ilec properties are cost based rate of return companies . historically , under fcc rules governing rate making , these ilecs were required to establish rates for their interstate telecommunications services based on projected demand usage for the various services . we projected our earnings through the use of annual cost separation studies , which utilized estimated total cost information and projected demand usage . carriers were required to follow fcc rules in the preparation of these annual studies . we determined actual earnings from our interstate rates as actual volumes and costs became known . effective january 1 , 2015 , our enventis ilecs are treated as price cap companies for universal service purposes . we anticipate filing a petition for waiver in the first quarter of 2015 to keep them as rate of return for switched access . if the petition is denied , then they would convert to price cap companies effective july 1 , 2015. we expect certain adjustments to take place over 18 months as a result of exiting the national exchange carrier association ( neca ) pool ; however , we do not anticipate that they will be material to our consolidated financial statements or results of operations . an order adopted by the fcc in 2011 ( the order ) may significantly impact the amount of support revenue we receive from usf/caf and icc . the order reformed core parts of the usf , broadly recast the existing icc scheme and established the caf to replace support revenues provided by the current usf and redirects support from voice services to broadband services . in 2012 , phase i of the caf was implemented freezing usf support to price cap holding companies until the fcc implemented a broadband cost model to shift support from voice service to broadband . the order also modified the methodology used for icc traffic exchanged between carriers . the initial phase of icc reform was effective on july 1 , 2012 , beginning the transition of our terminating switched access rates to bill-and-keep over a seven year period . as a result of implementing the provisions of the order , during 2014 our network access revenues decreased approximately $ 1.4 million compared to 2013. on december 19 , 2014 , the fcc released a report and order that addresses , among other things , the transition to caf phase ii for price cap carriers , the acceptance criteria of caf phase ii funding , and the rules for the competitive bidding process . for companies that accept the caf phase ii model based support , there will be a three year transition period in instances where their current phase i frozen funding exceeds the phase ii funding . if phase ii support exceeds phase i , then transitional support is waived and phase ii funding begins immediately . companies are required to commit to a statewide build out requirement to 10 mbps downstream and 1 mbps upstream in funded locations , with funding received over six years beginning in mid-2015 . the fcc is expected to release the final model support in the first quarter of 2015 , with funding retroactive to january 2015 . 46 companies that do not accept the caf phase ii funding will continue to receive phase i frozen support amounts until funding for their service area is awarded to another carrier through the competitive bidding process , which is expected to be completed in 2016. in addition , companies that do not accept the model based support will be eligible to participate in the competitive bidding process . there is no statewide commitment associated with the auction process ; ilecs will only be required to build to the locations won , and funding
