Barnard, VT

With a 94% pre-subscription rate in 2008, the residents of Barnard demonstrated an overwhelming desire to support ECFiber in its initial effort to bootstrap the organization and many Barnard homes and businesses were among the first ECFiber customers to come on-line in 2011.

In April 2019 the build was essentially complete, with only a little bit of rework to be done to relocate to new poles in East Barnard and add more capability to the original network in other parts of town.   That work is now complete!

Bethel, VT

Along with Barnard, the village center of Bethel and customers on Vermont Route 12 were fortunate enough to be one of the initial areas to receive ECFiber’s service in 2011. Since then, fiber optic service in the township has expanded up Christian Hill Road to Town Highway 59 as well as parts of Lilliesville, Lympus, Dartt Hill and Campbell Road areas.

Please visit the organization’s website (www.ecfiber.net) to see if we are currently in your area. If we aren’t there and you want service, please sign up as an interested subscriber.

Braintree, VT

During the winter and spring of 2018 design work was completed in order to begin building additional portions of a majority of the town. The work on those additional miles of the fiber-optic network has since been completed.

Braintree is looking for a second delegate to the ECFiber governing board. No technology experience required! Just a willingness to help bring high-speed internet to Braintree. Meetings are the second Tuesday of the month at the Vermont Law School.

Chelsea, VT

The Town of Chelsea has 18 miles of ECFiber fiber-optic network.  ECFiber encourages people in Chelsea to contact them as there is no cost or commitment to determine if you are within reach of the existing lines.  The more subscribers the town has, the faster ECFiber will be able to return and complete the remaining coverage.

Corinth, VT

Corinth became an ECFiber member town in May 2020, to improve broadband speeds and reliability for Corinth residents and businesses. ECFiber’s multi-year network build out is constrained by state and national shortage of skilled labor, supply chains for some materials,  and work by other owners of wire and cable attached to utility poles that must be done before fiber construction. Corinth is now in the queue in the construction schedule, subject to construction long programmed in other member towns. Therefore, we make no predictions of when service might be available at any Corinth location. Exceptions are at limited locations where “lighted” fiber already passes such locations.  A short segment of ECFiber’s network now passes through Corinth Corners to reach residents on the north side of Vershire. As the date of service delivery for Corinth residents gets closer, we expect the the map at www.ecfiber.net to show increasing mileage of lighted fiber “passings”  in Corinth and in other towns. Corinth ECFiber delegates reply to each “sign-up” for eventual service with information that includes what appears here and suggestions for temporary alternatives. We are convinced that terrestrial fiber service from ECFiber, when available, will prove best value for speed, monthly data volume, reliability, cost and content.
