December 04, 2025 at 5:00 PM EST

Glo Fiber is seeing strong growth in its commercial fiber business.

In an article, Lightwave provided an update based on Shentel’s, Glo Fiber’s parent company, third quarters earnings call with investors, in which executives discussed how it is advancing all areas of its commercial base through sales of its full suite of Ethernet, dedicated internet access, wavelength, dark fiber leasing and managed services.

The broad customer base includes wireless carriers, mid-market and enterprise customers, wholesale partners, educational institutions and state and local governments.

During Q3, the company added nearly $157,000 of incremental monthly recurring commercial revenue — a 19% increase year-over-year — while keeping churn for compressions and disconnects relatively low at 0.4%. Over the first nine months of 2025, commercial fiber revenue rose by $7.3 million, or 14.1%, compared to the same period in 2024. As was the case in previous periods, the service delivery team installed $215,000 in new monthly revenue in Q3.

There were some one-time revenue challenges, but Glo Fiber is in a good position to continue expanding its commercial segment. It has passed 400,000 residences and businesses in greenfield markets, and total fiber route miles and fiber miles grew to 18,077 and 1,957,272, respectively.

Glo Fiber has ample opportunities to continue to grow its fiber footprint to more businesses. The  2024 U.S. Fiber Lit Buildings LEADERBOARD by Vertical Systems Group noted that  “service providers cite rising customer demand for Wavelengths and custom Dark Fiber connectivity to support secure, dedicated ultra-high capacity bandwidth for AI and other applications that are driving fiber installations.”
