History

The company was established in 1995 by Jonathan Harlan under the name Aeneas Internet Services.[4] Harlan served as CEO from 1995 until August 2018. Stephen Thorpe has served as CEO of Aeneas Internet and Telephone since August 2018.[4]

Aeneas offers fiber internet and phone services to residents in Tennessee.[5]

In May 2003, Aeneas headquarters was hit by a tornado, but was able to restore operations within four days.[6] In 2004, Homeland Security featured Aeneas in a national advertising campaign regarding this recovery.[7] In July 2018, Aeneas expanded its services to Hardeman County.[8]
