A regional landline telecom provider since 1897, the company was originally named the '''Clifton Forge-Waynesboro Telephone Company''' (CFW).<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www2.newsvirginian.com/lifestyles/2008/jun/23/1897_2008_from_clifton_forge_waynesboro_telephone_-ar-303991/ |title=1897-2008: From Clifton Forge-Waynesboro Telephone Company to nTelos |first=K.W. |last=Stanley |publisher=Media General |work=The News Virginian |date=2008-06-23 |accessdate=2010-11-21}}</ref> From 2000 to 2011, the services operated under the name of nTelos, with the wireline business divided into two operations: a [[rural local exchange carrier]] (RLEC) and Competitive Wireline, which includes [[competitive local exchange carrier]] (CLEC), network and internet operations. nTelos operated as a RLEC in Virginia and owns two [[incumbent local exchange carrier]]s and serves three rural Virginia regions. As a CLEC, nTelos provided service in 16 areas in Virginia and West Virginia. |

The wireline business is supported by a fiber optic network that is used to back-haul communications traffic for their own retail services and to provide wholesale transport services to other telecommunications carriers for their long distance, internet, wireless and private network services. nTelos started [[Fiber to the premises|FTTP]] services in certain areas of Virginia. |
