EDINBURG, Va., June 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Glo Fiber, powered by Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel) (NASDAQ:SHEN), is celebrating the connection of its 100,000th fiber broadband customer, marking a major milestone in its mission to bring fast, reliable fiber internet and dedicated local support to communities across its footprint.

"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. We are proud to deliver fast, reliable fiber services with a local, customer-first approach, and we remain focused on building long-term relationships in every community we serve," said Ed McKay, President and Chief Executive Officer of Shentel. "This milestone is a testament to the hard work of our employees and the trust our customers place in us. Each connection represents a household or business that chose Glo Fiber for a better broadband experience—and reinforces the significant opportunity ahead."

Glo Fiber was created by Shentel as an all-fiber-to-the-home internet solution designed to deliver fast, reliable connectivity to the communities it serves.

Today, Glo Fiber continues that mission by expanding access to modern technology that supports economic growth, educational opportunities, remote work, entertainment, and everyday connection.
