Shentel Gives Significant Speed Increase to Business Internet Customers

Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel) (NASDAQ: SHEN), a local provider of cable, internet and wireless services, has significantly boosted the internet speed of its existing business customers. The typical Shentel business customer now has triple the speed for the exact same price.

The move to increase speeds took place in June for thousands of business customers in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. For example, a business with 25 Mbps speed in May was upgraded to 101 Mbps speed in June for the same price. At the same time, Shentel eliminated slower speeds which no longer met business customer needs. Earlier this year, Shentel also introduced a new top-speed internet tier — 150 Mbps.

“Faster speeds improve efficiencies, enabling our business customers to stay at the top of their game,” said Tom Whitaker, Senior VP-Cable at Shentel. “Shentel invests heavily in our infrastructure and technology. These investments of time, talent and money have enabled us to improve bandwidth and provide our businesses with faster service.”
