About us

Mr. John M. Bell joined the Company as superintendent and later became President.

In 1953, a new general office building was erected at 112 York Street in Chester.

The Chester exchange was converted to a dial system, completing the transition to dial from manual switch boards.

From 1966 to 1968, Direct Distance Dialing was established in Chester and was extended to all telephone company exchanges in 1968.

In 1990, we joined with other cellular telephone companies in South Carolina to explore new technologies and combine resources to provide new services at cost effective levels.

Select South Carolina cable systems from Charter Communications were acquired.

By 2007, Great Falls Cablevision and Comporium’s Lewisville cable systems were acquired.

In 2017, fiber expanded to Fairfield, Kershaw and Richland Counties to serve anchor customer, Verizon Wireless.

In 2018, fiber expanded to new areas of Rabun County in Northeast Georgia, including Lake Burton and Lake Rabun.

Recognizing a need in our communities, TruVista participated in Educate 2020, providing students with free broadband services.
