County owned telco in Nevada
CC Communications Nevada
Churchill County's own telephone company, running out of Fallon since 1889 and selling fiber to the premises across most of the county. The county describes it as the only county owned telephone company in the United States.
CC Communications is owned by Churchill County and has been the local telephone company in Fallon since 1889. It launched fiber to the premises in 2015 and reports roughly 80 percent of the county passed, and it has been extending toward Elko County, Spring Creek and Virginia City. It serves none of the metros on this site, and it is on here because rural Nevada addresses have a real answer that the national carriers will not mention.
Where CC Communications is strong
- Owns the network it sells, and the owner is a county rather than a holding company
- Fiber to the premises launched in 2015, with the company reporting roughly 80 percent of the county passed
- Full telco product set, so voice, internet and television come from one place
- Small enough that support is a person who knows the circuit rather than a queue
CC Communications in Nevada specifically
- Churchill County first, plus the areas the company has publicly said it is extending into. Everything else is somebody else's territory.
- It exists because Churchill County sits under the population threshold in the state law that bars larger Nevada cities and counties from selling telecommunications service.
- Full telco product set, so voice, internet and television come from one place, which suits a rural site with nobody internal running the network.
- No published business rate card. The price comes from asking.
- For a rural network the question that matters is onward transport. Ask how many separate paths there are out of the county.
Best fit. Churchill County businesses, and rural northern Nevada sites where a national carrier has already said no.
What to watch for before you sign
- Churchill County, plus the areas it has publicly said it is extending into. That is a rural footprint and it is not a Las Vegas or Reno option.
- No published business rate card, so the price comes from asking.
- Not a fit for a multi-state network without a partner carrier.
- Ask what the onward transport looks like. A rural network's resilience is decided by how many ways out of the county it has.

What a Nevada business pays, and how to judge a quote from CC Communications
Business internet is priced per address, so there is no CC Communications rate card anyone can hold them to. What follows is what businesses in Nevada typically pay at a building that is already lit, whichever carrier serves it. Use it to judge the quote you get.
| Bandwidth | Dedicated internet, monthly | Business fiber broadband, monthly |
|---|---|---|
| 50 Mbps | approximately $329 | approximately $100 |
| 100 Mbps | approximately $369 | approximately $100 |
| 200 Mbps | approximately $464 | approximately $150 |
| 500 Mbps | approximately $499 | approximately $200 |
| 1 Gbps | approximately $680 | approximately $400 |
| 10 Gbps | approximately $2,500 | approximately $2,500 |
What installation usually costs
| Situation | Typical up front cost | What is happening |
|---|---|---|
| Building already lit | $0 to $500 | The carrier is already inside. A cross connect and a router. |
| Short lateral build | $0 to $15,000 | Fiber runs nearby. Carriers often absorb some or all of it on a longer term. |
| Long or difficult build | $15,000 to six figures | Real construction. Permits, trenching, possible crossings. |
Contract term
- 36 months is the usual starting point for business fiber and dedicated internet. 12 and 24 month terms exist and normally cost more per month.
- 60 months buys the biggest discount and the largest construction contribution, which is why it is worth pricing even if you do not sign it.
- Ask for the construction charge at 36 months and at 60 months as two separate numbers. That gap is the real negotiation.
- Check the renewal and the annual escalator before the monthly price. A cheap year one with an automatic uplift is not a cheap contract.

CC Communications in Nevada: common questions
Is CC Communications available at my Nevada address?
Carrier footprints change constantly and no public map is accurate at the building level. We check serviceability directly with each carrier before telling you what you can get. Give us the address and we will confirm with CC Communications directly, along with every other carrier that could reach it.
How much does CC Communications business internet cost in Nevada?
Business internet is priced per address, so there is no CC Communications rate card to quote, and a site that shows you one is guessing. In Nevada we typically quote approximately $329 a month for 50 Mbps of dedicated internet and approximately $680 for 1 Gbps, at a building that is already lit. Business fiber broadband at 1 Gbps typically runs approximately $400. Construction, contract term and which carriers reach the building move the real number.
Is CC Communications the cheapest option in Nevada?
Sometimes, and it depends almost entirely on whether your building is already on their network. A carrier who is already in the building will normally beat a carrier who has to build, regardless of list pricing.
Can I buy CC Communications through you at the same price?
Yes. Pricing is the same as going direct. The difference is that you get every other carrier's number at the same time, and you are not managing the process yourself.
