Innovating and Communicating Since 1950
Royale and Eleanor Arvig started this company with the intention of being the best, most trouble-free telephone company in the nation. Staying true to our founders’ vision, we’re leaders today in the telecommunications industry—diverse, independent and committed to the best service.
Our Story
Since our start as a small telephone company in eastern Otter Tail County, Minn., Arvig has grown into one of the largest independent telecommunications companies in the nation. But we didn’t get here by staying put. Through the decades, we’ve embraced change, taken risks and found opportunities to grow and improve.
Today, we’re a technology leader, providing business and residential solutions for internet, television, phone, security, Hosted PBX and fiber transport.
