Spring Fiber Update
April 25th, 2025
Spring has arrived, bringing mud season to Vermont, but that hasn’t slowed us down! Our technicians and contract crews are hard at work expanding our fiber-optic network. You may see our contract crews running aerial fiber and our splicers out in the field. Our technicians are also busy converting customers to fiber at a record pace. In fact, last year we converted more customers to fiber than ever before, running over 600,000 feet of new mainline fiber-optic cable and nearly 500,000 feet of new fiber-optic drops. At the same time, we are actively engineering and designing our future fiber projects.
If your location is included in one of our current build areas, we will contact you to inform you that fiber is coming to your area. When your address is ready for conversion, we will reach out to schedule your installation. To stay informed on fiber builds and register your interest, please visit getfiber.wcvt.com.
While we are converting customers to fiber at an unprecedented rate, our work is far from complete. In addition to our in-house technicians, you may notice several contractors working in your area. We rely on contractors for field collection, engineering, line construction, and buried service drop work. As soon as mud season ends, we will have 18 contractors working alongside our technicians to continue this momentum. The following contractors are currently working in our service area:
- Eustis Cable Enterprises
- Henkels & McCoy
- JA McDonald
- JSI
- Menard and Sons
- Stone Underground
- JSI
- TTS

What’s Next If Your Area Already Has Fiber Construction?
If fiber construction has been completed in your area, there’s nothing you need to do just yet. We will contact you when your location is ready for conversion and will schedule your fiber installation at that time. We appreciate your patience as we work diligently to bring you the best internet service possible.
