Revolutionizing Connectivity in Bedford County
At ZiTEL, we believe that everyone—no matter where they live—deserves fast, reliable internet. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to bring high-speed fiber optic internet to rural communities, starting with Bedford County. As a regional provider invested in local growth, we’re proud to share how far we’ve come, what it means for the community, and what’s next on the horizon.

Why Fiber Internet Matters for Bedford County
Fiber optic internet isn’t just faster—it’s smarter, more efficient, and built for the future. Whether you’re streaming, working from home, running a business, or attending online classes, fiber delivers consistent, symmetrical speeds that traditional cable simply can’t match.
With no data caps, no throttling, and equal upload and download speeds, ZiTEL’s fiber network provides a seamless online experience backed by local customer support that knows your name and your needs.
Our Progress: What We've Accomplished So Far
Over the past year, our construction crews have been hard at work, laying fiber infrastructure through neighborhoods, business corridors, and underserved areas across Bedford County. Thanks to the commitment of our installation teams and community partners, we’ve:
Installed miles of fiber cable throughout the region
Connected hundreds of homes and small businesses
Introduced localized customer service for rapid response
Delivered true gigabit-speed internet to areas once limited by outdated networks
Every street completed and home connected represents more than just a faster internet speed—it’s a step toward digital equity and economic empowerment for rural residents.
What’s Next for Bedford County?
Our work is far from finished. As demand continues to grow, we’re expanding our fiber reach into new neighborhoods and rural zones across Bedford County. Upcoming plans include:
Extending service into remote areas currently lacking high-speed access
Partnering with community organizations to educate residents about fiber benefits
Enhancing network capacity to prepare for next-generation smart technologies
If we haven’t reached your street yet, know that we’re coming—and faster than you think.
