ABOUT US

Our main offices are in downtown Kilmarnock, a historic part of Virginia’s River Country.

A Brief History of Broadband Telecom

Broadband Telecom was founded by current President Jeffrey Beekhoo to provide telecom network infrastructure services to cities and municipalities looking to build open or closed access networks for their residents. With millions of households in the United States still unable to achieve the benchmark 25 Mbps down and 3 Mbps upload speeds set by the Federal Government, he saw the urgency to provide these capabilities so that these areas could flourish. Utilizing the model that was developed by Google Fiber in Kansas City, he has had experience with similar projects that utilize existing infrastructure, tax money, and a combination of fiber optics and wireless, to create broadband networks that reduce leakage and generate additional revenue, as well as providing a much-needed service to the residents and business.

We offer services in the following areas:

City of Virginia Beach, City of Hampton, Lancaster County, Middlesex County, Gloucester County, Caroline County, City of Chesapeake, Culpeper County, Powhatan County, City of Norfolk, Campbell County

Client Reviews

I am reaching out to thank the broadband-telecom team for a job well done! From my first call, their team took my order for service and immediately made me feel like family. They installed our new service not only quickly but with professional expertise. Throughout my experience, the entire team treated me with respect and thankfulness for my business. Thank you for supplying my family with great service and always going above and beyond! You guys blow me away!
- Travis Whittle

A very professional crew. In order to improve our service new equipment was installed on our dock. The electrician explained exactly what he would do and what it would look like. Throughout the day we were informed of the progress and the work was completed neatly and timely. The outdated equipment was removed and we were connected to greatly improved service. Thank you!!
- Carol Gifford

I have had a very good experience with your company and also my internet is working very well without any problems. I will send an email to all my neighbors and recommend they sign up with your company. I also told my broker to sign up with you too. Thank you for improving our internet service.
- Jessica Cutler

I’m writing to say thank you for the excellent service you and your colleagues have given us. In short order, you have provided fast, reliable internet to our home. Prior to your ownership, our service was neither; we were constantly struggling to get poor service that required continual maintenance. This is especially frustrating to retired people living remotely. You are to be especially commended for your follow-up protocol.  I am indebted.
- Wayne LaGary

I was one of Broadband Telecom Services’ first customers. After suffering from very slow internet service for almost 13 years, Jeff, the BTS techs, and staff worked diligently to update the internet equipment. The results have been great, with my internet connection speed now averaging 25 Mbps. Going from 1 Mbps to 25 Mbps internet speed has been a long time coming and most welcome. Thanks to the entire BTS staff!
