Top Stories in November: Intelisys Awards, Lumen, Frontier's Emergence

As the calendar flips to December and you get entrenched in the holiday season, your mind is still on some of the top stories from previous months.

That’s right — a few of the blurbs in our recap of November’s top stories will look familiar. You read them once and came back for more. (OK, you probably haven’t read them more than once, but they’ve had some real legs overall online.)

Take the Windstream and Frontier bankruptcies, for instance. Windstream announced its exit a couple of months ago, but our audience still wanted to read about it. And our story about Frontier’s planned chapter 11 exit in January, which we published in October, cracked our list again.

Despite the tough year, the channel celebrated successes last month. Intelisys, for one, identified its top suppliers, channel managers and partners.

Technology was top of mind. You wanted to learn about Palo Alto Networks’ new 5G security offer. You also wondered why Apple didn’t make its new iPads 5G-compatible.

OK, so if you’re thinking, I wouldn’t have picked any of those stories, well, you can do something about it. Our countdown consists of the most popular stories on our website and in our weekly newsletters. Subscribing to our newsletters is easy.

So which of the stories listed above was No. 1? Or was it something else entirely?

Once you’ve clicked through the gallery below to see what was No. 1 among our top channel stories for November, take a trip down memory lane. Check out last month’s countdown, which featured a flap over AT&T DSL and a new channel chief at Windstream.
