SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (December 7, 2010) – FairPoint Communications has expanded broadband to more than 100 homes and businesses in the West Arlington, Vermont area.
The high-speed Internet service was recently expanded to reach customers along all or portions of Berwal, Chunks Brook, Country, Far View, Fisher, Hale, Hawley Mountain, Mountain, Old Mill, Pantaleon, Rabbit, River, Route 313, Sycamore, Trout, Valley View and Wilcox roads.
FairPoint’s VantagePoint network, a fiber core, IP-based network, provides speed options as fast as 15Mbps. Broadband service on the VantagePoint network means customers can smoothly stream live video, play online games and upload photos and large files with ease. Always-on broadband access provides almost instant connections to information, news and entertainment.
“VantagePoint is enabling us to expand broadband service into areas with no high-speed Internet access and provide enhanced services across the state,” said Michael K. Smith, FairPoint state president for Vermont.
Since April 2008, FairPoint has invested $129 million in the communications infrastructure and technology to bring broadband to northern New England, including building more than 700 miles of new fiber across the region.
FairPoint increased access to high-speed Internet service from 66 to more than 80 percent of its Vermont customers since 2008.
