Minford Telephone Company (MTC) started in 1953 offering local landline telephone service.

In April of 2000, MTC formed a subsidiary, Falcon1, and started offering dial-up Internet services.

Minford Telephone Co. upgraded its entire plant by 2004 to offer DSL to all MTC subscribers.

In 2006, MTC started offering Minford Long Distance. In 2009 Minford Telephone Company expanded its serving territory and built fiber to the home in two neighboring towns, Clarktown and Rubyville, Ohio. Minford Telephone Company has currently started construction on Phase 1 of a fiber to the home project in their traditional serving territory.

The company is rebuilding the entire plant in phases to have fiber to the home available to all Minford Telephone Company customers. This will also allow other opportunities for Minford Telephone Co. to expand availability as well as increase adoption in the southeast region of Ohio.

“Minford Telephone Co. heard about Connect Ohio thru OTA. We support the idea for all rural Americans to have high-speed Internet services available to them,” Paula McGraw, Minford Telephone Company General Manager said. “We have worked very hard and we are still working hard to make sure our customers have reliable state of the art technology available to them. Not only does it help us as a small business to have customers sign up for our services, but it also allows so many opportunities for the customer to be able to go online.”
