Investor Presentation
3rd Quarter 2009 Update
Exhibit 99.1


1
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Included in this presentation are certain non-GAAP financial measures that
are not determined in accordance with US generally accepted accounting
principles.  These financial performance measures are not indicative of cash
provided or used by operating activities and exclude the effects
of certain
operating, capital and financing costs and may differ from comparable
information provided by other companies, and they should not be considered
in isolation, as an alternative to, or more meaningful than measures of
financial performance determined in accordance with US generally
accepted
accounting principles.  These financial performance measures are
commonly
used in the industry and are presented because NTELOS believes they
provide relevant and useful information to investors.  NTELOS utilizes these
financial performance measures to assess its ability to meet future capital
expenditure and working capital requirements, to incur indebtedness if
necessary, and to fund continued growth.  NTELOS also uses these
financial
performance measures to evaluate the performance of its business, for
budget planning purposes and as factors in its employee compensation
programs.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking
Statements
Any statements contained in this presentation that are not statements of
historical fact, including statements about our beliefs and expectations, are
forward-looking statements and should be evaluated as such. The words
"anticipates," "believes," "expects," "intends," "plans," "estimates," "targets,"
"projects," "should," "may," "will" and similar words and expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking
statements reflect, among other things, our current expectations, plans and
strategies, and anticipated financial results, all of which are subject to known and
unknown risks, uncertainties and factors that may cause our actual results to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. Many of these risks are beyond our ability to control or predict.
Because of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, you should not place
undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Furthermore, forward-
looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. We do not
undertake any obligation to update or review any forward-looking information,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important
factors with respect to any such forward-looking statements, including certain
risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those
contained in the forward-looking statements, include, but are not limited to: rapid
development and intense competition in the telecommunications industry;
adverse economic conditions; operating and financial restrictions imposed by our
senior credit facilities and other indebtedness; our cash and capital requirements; 
declining prices for our services;


3
Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
(cont.)
the potential to experience a high rate of customer turnover; our dependence on
our affiliation with Sprint Nextel ("Sprint"); a potential increase in our roaming
rates and wireless handset subsidy costs; the potential for Sprint to build
networks in our markets; federal and state regulatory fees, requirements and
developments; loss of our cell sites; the rates of penetration in the wireless
telecommunications industry; our reliance on certain suppliers and vendors and
the transition of our prepay billing services to a new vendor; and other
unforeseen difficulties that may occur. These risks and uncertainties are not
intended to represent a complete list of all risks and uncertainties inherent in our
business, and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed cautionary
statements and risk factors included in our SEC filings, including our Annual
Reports filed on Forms 10-K.
