Shentel Hits 100,000 Glo Fiber Internet Subs
CEO says the achievement represents strong demand for fiber
WASHINGTON, July 3, 2026 — Shenandoah Telecommunications’ Glo Fiber broadband internet service celebrated its 100,000th fiber connection on June 29, marking a significant company achievement.
“Reaching 100,000 customers is an important milestone for Glo Fiber and reflects the strong demand we’re seeing for high-quality, fiber-based connectivity across our markets,” Shentel President and CEO Ed McKay said. “This milestone is a testament to the hard work of our employees and the trust our customers place in us.”
Glo Fiber was created by Shentel as an all-fiber-to-the-home internet solution designed to deliver fast, reliable connectivity in the communities it serves. Founded in 1902, Shentel initially provided telephone service to rural farmers, but later added cable TV, mobile phone and broadband offerings. Shentel exited the wireless business five years ago.
Today, Glo Fiber delivers high speeds and low latency internet service across a 19,400-mile regional network, offering symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 8 gigabits per second (Gbps) in eight contiguous states in the eastern U.S.
