We’re Shentel.  We may be new to you, but we’ve been in business since 1902.  Back then, we were a small phone company serving our neighbors in Virginia’s Northern Shenandoah Valley.  Today we bring advanced broadband services, digital TV, voice and high-speed Internet, as well as mobile services through our affiliation with Sprint to more of our neighbors in Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Maryland. We specialize in providing advanced services to rural and underserved markets because we believe they deserve the same level of service that you would expect from a larger metropolitan area.
