Arvig® Company Overview

Our History

Established in 1950, Arvig has grown from small family-owned East Ottertail Telephone Company into one of the largest independent telecommunications and broadband providers in the nation.

We take that company ownership part seriously by doing everything we can to keep our customers happy.
