Fastest ISP VTel
VTel is a rural phone company covering 14 south Vermont villages. More importantly, it covers those villages with gigabit fiber connections, making it the fastest ISP in the state. VTel's limited service area doesn't cover any of Vermont's larger cities, though, leaving Brattleboro and Burlington out of the fiber loop.
