Company announces plans to bring ultra-fast fiber internet to Stanley, the latest community in Virginia

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — June 11, 2026 — Fast internet isn’t a luxury; it’s an essential utility for families trying to work from home, students needing reliable access for schoolwork and small businesses looking to grow. That’s why Brightspeed, the nation’s third-largest fiber builder, is investing in Stanley and the Shenandoah Valley, bringing the nation’s fastest internet (highspeedinternet.com)* to the area and expanding access to the tools people need to thrive.

Through this expansion, more than 1,700 homes and businesses in Stanley will gain access to Brightspeed’s multi-gig-speed 100 percent fiber-to-the-home internet. The project is part of the company’s broader investment to connect more than 15,000 families in the Shenandoah Valley and more than 190,000 families statewide.

Brightspeed’s fiber network build is 60 percent complete in Virginia, marking a significant milestone in the company’s effort to bring reliable, future-ready connectivity, which has a 4.4-star rating on Trustpilot and nearly 19,000 five-star reviews.**

What’s Next in Stanley?

Over the coming months, residents will see our Brightspeed trucks and authorized crews rolling into their neighborhoods. Crews may dig, bore underground or work on existing utility poles to connect them to Brightspeed’s state-of-the-art network.

Once construction is complete, families and business owners can meet directly with Brightspeed representatives, who will be in the area to spread the word about the availability of Brightspeed Fiber Internet.
