About Us
Who we are, and why it matters.
At Lumos, we’re more than a fiber internet company—we’re builders, problem-solvers, and community partners. We believe everyone deserves access to fast, reliable connectivity, and we’re on a mission to make that a reality in the places that need it most. Behind every mile of fiber are passionate people working together to create something better—for our customers and for each other.

Our story, from the start.
Lumos began with a bold vision: to bring powerful, reliable fiber internet to the communities that need it most. What started as a regional provider has evolved into a company building the future of connectivity across the Southeast and beyond. Through innovation, investment, and a people-first approach, we’ve grown—but our purpose has stayed the same: connect more people to more opportunity, faster.
