Truvista Fiber to Acquire City of Commerce Telecom Network

CHESTER, S.C., April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Truvista Fiber and the City of Commerce, Georgia today announced an agreement for Truvista to acquire the city's municipal telecommunications network supporting local businesses. Upon closing, the network will operate under the name Truvista Fiber.

This strategic transition positions the community for the future, with Truvista delivering a full suite of advanced services to residents, businesses, and institutions.

"Today marks an exciting new chapter for Commerce," said Dr. J. Clark Hill III, Commerce Mayor. "When we looked at what it would take to upgrade our telecom infrastructure to bring cutting-edge connectivity to support economic growth, education and healthcare to our city, we quickly realized we needed a partner. In Truvista, we found a company that has an understanding of the culture of our town as well as the technical experience to bring a technology-forward future to our businesses."

Under the agreement, Truvista Fiber will assume ownership and operation and upgrade all of the existing network infrastructure, bringing its proven expertise in fiber-optic deployment, network management, and customer service to Commerce.

The announced deal follows the acquisition of SlyTel by Truvista in December 2025 and aligns with the company's long-term strategic goals of expanding broadband access in growing communities while investing in scalable, future-ready technology.

"We are excited to bring the City of Commerce network and customers into Truvista," said Carla French, President and CEO of Truvista Fiber. "Our continuous goal is to provide an unmatched customer experience, and we look forward to providing this experience to our new customers utilizing best in class fiber technology and our portfolio of business offerings."

Current Commerce fiber customers do not need to take any action at this time. Truvista will maintain continuity of service while implementing network enhancements with no to minimal disruption. Additional details regarding service upgrades, timelines, and customer support will be communicated directly to current customers in the coming months.
