Broadband in West Virginia Traditionally, West Virginia has suffered from poor regional coverage. Most home or business users in this state have had access to only one service provider, despite there being 86 companies serving the state. The West Virginia Broadband Initiative, along with other broadband connection projects benefit from significant federal financial inputs, receiving over 130 million dollars since 2010. Additionally, the West Virginia Enhancement Council was created in 2016 to facilitate the growth of wired internet networks to underserved areas across the state.
