About
For over 120 years, Shentel has been keeping communities connected, beginning as a small local telephone provider in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley and evolving into a comprehensive telecommunications provider. Founded in 1902 as Farmers' Mutual Telephone System, the company specializes in delivering high-speed internet, cable TV, and home phone services to rural communities that are often overlooked by larger telecommunications companies. Today, Shentel serves customers across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, and Ohio through multiple brands including Shentel for traditional cable services and Glo Fiber for fiber-optic internet in larger markets. Shentel lives and works in the same communities they serve, taking pride in supporting local areas with reliable connectivity and genuine local service. The company offers both residential and business telecommunications solutions, ranging from small-scale services to large enterprise solutions. With a commitment to expanding rural broadband access, Shentel continues investing in network infrastructure to bridge the digital divide in underserved areas, ensuring that homes and businesses in smaller towns and rural communities have access to the same quality internet services available in major cities.
