Guadalupe Valley Telecommunications Cooperative (GVTC) provides telephone, broadband, security, and cable television to more than 41,000 customers located in 11 counties throughout south central Texas.

GVTC has a rich history in telecommunications, beginning in 1951 when GVTC was organized to bring telephone service to the rough Texas hill country north of San Antonio. Those pioneers fought hard to bring quality service to the sparsely populated region.

Today, GVTC bears little resemblance to its humble beginning. It is the largest
telephone cooperative in the state of Texas and the ninth-largest local exchange carrier in Texas.
