Vermont is building fiber to every last mile

Vermont is running one of the most ambitious rural fiber programs in the country, with communications union districts and providers building fiber-to-the-home from Chittenden County around Burlington through the Champlain Valley to Rutland, the Northeast Kingdom, and the southern towns near Bennington. Independent broadband technicians who can handle rural aerial drops, splicing, and installs on back roads have steady work ahead.
