Star Communications

Who We AreIn 1959, with the help of the Department of Agriculture, a new rural cooperative was founded by the merger of two smaller cooperatives, thus the beginnings of Star Telephone Membership Corporation.Star, as it is called by many, is a nonprofit cooperative which is owned and operated by its members. We serve our members with the purpose of offering the lowest cost and highest quality communications possible. With our headquarters located in Clinton, North Carolina, we understand what it means to be rural. The farming communities we serve consist of a tight-knit family-centered region that we also call home. Country life may have a slower pace in eastern North Carolina, but our services definitely do not. Star was the first telephone company east of the Mississippi to offer a fully redundant fiber-optic ring, solidifying our commitment to offer the best in technology. We were also one of the first to offer 100 percent high-speed Internet service to all customers.Star has dedicated itself to ensure our customers have the ability to communicate and prosper in the global economy. We will continue to bring cutting-edge technology to our area by prudently investing time, money, and effort for the betterment of our members, customers, and businesses. We live and conduct business by our corporate motto, Neighbors Serving Neighbors
