We're Building Fiber – And Making Great Progress!
As fall settles in, we're excited to share an update on the progress we've made expanding our fiber-optic network this year. Thanks to the hard work of our construction crews and partners, we continue to make significant strides. So far this year, we've run:
- 205 miles of aerial mainline fiber
- 93 miles of mainline fiber and service drops.
Our crews are hard at work this construction season, and your prompt response helps keep everything on schedule. Whether it's returning a call, responding to a door tag, or booking your installation appointment, every step helps us get you and your neighbors connected faster.
We're currently working in the following towns: Hinesburg, Huntington, North Ferrisburgh, Richmond, Starksboro, Waltham, Monkton, Bristol, and Lincoln—along with several other areas where we’re completing remaining work. This primarily includes running additional customer drops and completing conversions.

WCVT Sponsors Bristol's Annual "Pumpkins in the Park" Event
On Sunday, October 26th, WCVT was pleased to sponsor Bristol's annual Pumpkins in the Park event. The community came together for a fun afternoon where children had the opportunity to carve pumpkins and enjoy seasonal activities.
WCVT contributed to the festivities by donating pumpkins and goodie bags, which were a hit with the kids. It was a great opportunity to support a local tradition and connect with families in the area.
We appreciate everyone who helped make the event a success and look forward to continuing our support for community events like this possible.
