High-Speed Fiber Internet Service to Reach More Homes and Businesses.

Glo Fiber has initiated construction on an extensive fiber-optic network expansion that will bring high-speed broadband access to approximately 10,000 additional locations in Lancaster, Ohio. The project, undertaken by Shenandoah Telecommunications Company (Shentel), aims to provide enhanced internet service to both residential and commercial customers in the south-central Ohio city.

Previously known as Horizon Telecom, Glo Fiber underwent a rebranding in 2023 following its acquisition by Shentel in 2024. The company has since been focused on expanding its fiber-to-the-home infrastructure across the region.

Advancing Connectivity in Lancaster

Currently, over 4,000 homes and businesses in Lancaster have already been connected to Glo Fiber's high-speed network. The company has announced that the full network expansion is expected to be completed by the second half of 2025.

“As we continue to grow throughout Ohio, we look forward to bringing our award-winning fiber service to even more residents and businesses,” said Chris Kyle, VP of industry affairs at Shentel, in the company’s release.

“We are excited to continue our fiber-to-the-home expansion in Lancaster,” Kyle added.

Local Support and Community Impact

The expansion has been welcomed by Lancaster Mayor Don McDaniel, who emphasized the benefits of increased broadband access for residents and businesses.

“We welcome this new investment from a company that is already part of Lancaster,” said McDaniel.

He further noted that Glo Fiber “will be delivering to our residents and businesses better options for high-quality internet.”

Glo Fiber’s Growing Footprint

Glo Fiber’s services extend beyond Ohio, with coverage also available in Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and Delaware. The company remains committed to expanding its footprint and ensuring more communities have access to reliable, high-speed internet.

Residents in Lancaster will receive advance notifications about construction activities in their area through mail alerts, according to the company's statement.

With this expansion, Glo Fiber continues its mission to enhance connectivity and provide cutting-edge broadband services to communities in need of improved internet infrastructure.
