UPDATE Shenandoah Telecommunications (NASDAQ: SHEN), headquartered in Edinburg, VA, announced the rebranding of Horizon Telcom to Glo Fiber which is Shentel’s brand for its fiber-based services unit. Shentel acquired Horizon Telecom in October 2023, Inside Towers reported. Horizon, based in Columbus, OH, provides fiber optic broadband services to commercial customers in Ohio and adjacent states, and to Ohio residential customers in Chillicothe, Circleville, Lancaster, and Washington Courthouse.
In residential markets, Glo Fiber claims it has a competitive advantage over other internet service providers by offering symmetrical fiber-to-the-home technology up to 5 Gbps, straight-forward pricing with no long-term contracts and responsive customer service.
Glo Fiber Business offers advanced data and voice services that include lit fiber with speeds up to 100 Gbps, dark fiber, and managed solutions for enterprise, education, small business and wholesale customers.
By the end of 2026, Shentel plans to pass 600,000 homes with its 9,000 route mile fiber network that will extend through Virginia, West Virginia, Ohio and parts of Kentucky, Maryland and Delaware.
“Glo Fiber and Glo Fiber Business have earned a strong reputation for providing superior local customer service and dependable broadband network solutions across our Mid-Atlantic markets,” said Ed McKay, Shentel’s Chief Operating Officer. “We are excited to bring our brand, network reliability, and customer focus to our new service areas in Ohio.”
