SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (February 22, 2010) – FairPoint Communications has expanded broadband to an additional 135 homes and businesses in the Marlboro, Vermont area.

The high-speed Internet service was recently expanded to reach customers in the area of U.S. Route 9 near Indian Pipe Road and North Pond Road in Marlboro. Customers can now e-mail photos, download music and surf the Internet faster than previously on dial-up service.

Since 2008, FairPoint increased access to high-speed Internet service from 65 to almost 78 percent of its Vermont lines, exceeding its commitment to the state for 77 percent broadband availability.

“FairPoint has spent the last year and a half building a secure network infrastructure that will allow customers to transport data, voice and video content over a flexible and scalable network,” said Michael K. Smith, Vermont state president for FairPoint. “This advanced technology enables broadband to be delivered to additional neighborhoods more quickly and allows FairPoint to provide its customers with new products at faster speeds.”
