Glo Fiber launches fiber optics broadband across Virginia
(UI) – Glo Fiber announced that future-proof, 100% fiber optic broadband service is now available to several initial neighborhoods in Bridgewater, Broadway, Timberville, Grottoes and Elkton in Rockingham County. Construction is expected to be complete by mid-2024. Once complete, over 8,000 homes and businesses in the County will have access to Glo Fiber's high-speed internet service.
Glo Fiber provides a direct fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) internet connection with super-fast, symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 5 gigabits per second (Gbps) with service already available to more than 11,000 homes and businesses in the City of Harrisonburg.
The fiber-to-the-home network, coupled with Shentel's 9,300-mile regional fiber network, enables Glo Fiber to deliver high speeds, low latency, and unparalleled reliability.
"Harrisonburg, Virginia was the first market we launched Glo Fiber almost five years ago," said Chris Kyle, Vice President of Industry and Regulatory Affairs at Shentel. "Since then, as our footprint has grown across the Mid-Atlantic, we have continued to work and expand our services to the rest of Rockingham County. We have already seen an overwhelmingly positive response to our service in each of these towns and we are excited to grow that relationship further."
