More high-speed connectivity is coming to the PAZ region! Armstrong Telecommunications has announced plans to deploy more than 500 miles of high-speed fiber infrastructure across rural West Virginia. The expansion will bring service to more than 5,000 homes and small businesses in ten counties, including the PAZ counties of Cabell, Jackson, Wayne and Wood.
