In the heart of rural Texas, Colorado Valley Communications (CVCTX) stands as a testament to community-driven innovation and service. What began as Colorado Valley Telephone Cooperative in 1953, founded by local farmers and ranchers, has evolved into a cutting-edge telecommunications provider serving over 900 square miles across Fayette, Colorado, and Lavaca counties.

A Legacy of Rural Connectivity

CVCTX’s journey began with a simple mission: to provide telephone service to the rural areas surrounding La Grange, Schulenburg, and Weimar. Today, that mission has expanded to meet the digital needs of the 21st century. The company now offers multigigabit fiber Internet, high-speed fixed wireless Internet, and advanced telecommunications services to communities including La Grange, Schulenburg, Weimar, Fayetteville, Ellinger, Round Top, and the surrounding rural areas.

More Than Just an Internet Provider

What sets Colorado Valley Communications apart is their deep-rooted connection to the community. As Director of Marketing Karen Gunkel puts it, “We’re not just your Internet provider, we’re your neighbor.” This local touch translates into tangible benefits for customers:

• Live support from local staff who live in the area
• Faster response times for technical issues and installations
• Community-first values driving decisions and commitment to rural access

Investing in Community Growth

CVCTX’s commitment to the region goes beyond providing essential services. The company actively invests in the community’s future through various initiatives:

• An Employee Charity Fund making quarterly donations to local charities
• $60,000 in annual scholarships for graduating seniors from area high schools
• Partnership with Fayette County EMS to provide scholarships for certification advancement
• Regular sponsorships and donations to local events and charities

Moreover, by bringing high-speed Internet to rural areas, CVCTX enables local businesses, farms, ranches, and entrepreneurs to compete globally. Their services support crucial aspects of modern rural life, including telehealth, online education, remote work, and smart farming technologies.

Customer Satisfaction: A Hallmark of Excellence

With a stellar 4.9-star rating on Google, CVCTX’s commitment to customer service shines through. Reviewers consistently praise the company’s personnel for their courtesy, professionalism, and helpfulness. As one satisfied customer put it, “CVCTX treats our customers as relationships, not transactions.”

Looking to the Future

Colorado Valley Communications continues to push the boundaries of rural connectivity. Their ongoing multi-year fiber expansion project demonstrates their commitment to bringing high-speed internet to underserved homes and farms. Additionally, they’re improving their Fixed Wireless service with next-generation technology, aiming to provide fiber-like speeds to customers not yet served by fiber.

As rural Texas continues to grow and evolve, Colorado Valley Communications stands ready to meet the telecommunications needs of the community, just as they have for the past 70 years.
