Fiber in Vermont?

fast-internet


The idea of having rural Vermont be laid with fiber internet lines before large metropolises seems crazy, but not to Vermont Telephone Company. The company is currently offering fiber-to-the-home to only a few counties, but has aspirations to expand. VTel currently offers fiber connections for $35 per month, which slashes Google Fiber's cheapest plan in half. I wonder whether this pricing is sustainable, even though the general price of fiber is lowering. This exemplifies that fiber is starting to be rolled out all over the US, even in the most remote places.
