This is perhaps the best high speed internet offering in our Northeast Region of Vermont. Burlington Telecomm did it right when they built their entire infrastructure from scratch using fiber optics. Comcast and Verizon both utilized their existing copper networks, and fiber optics is much faster. The downside is, of course, you have to live in their service area to get the service.
These next 2 paragraphs come from their web site, and the link to it is below.
Broadband comes from the words "broad bandwidth." Bandwidth typically refers to how fast data flows through the path that it travels to your computer; it’s usually measured in kilobits, megabits or gigabits per second. The greater the bandwidth, the greater the amount of data that can travel in a given time period.
Burlington Telecom offers what is know as "Symmetrical Bandwidth" which means that your upload and download speeds are potentially the same. This is a huge benefit for those who send large files such as photos, music, and video out across the internet. Typically with symmetrical bandwidth outgoing e-mail leaves a much quicker rate freeing the resources of your PC for other tasks.
BT offers speeds of 3M/3M, 5M/5M, and 8M/8M to their resiential customers. Noet that due to their symmetrical bandwidth feature the download and upload speeds are the same.
If you live in their service area, you can check out the prices at this link.
