February 2023

		As a local Vermont, family owned business, we understand how important your communications services are to you and your family. We continue to invest in our network to maximize the number of customers we convert to fiber-optics. If you are included in one of our 2023 fiber projects, we will be reaching out to let you know that fiber is coming to your location as our builds progress. Building a fiber-to-the-home network in rural areas is extremely expensive, and takes time to engineer, construct and build. While we can't get to everyone overnight, we are making progress each and every day converting more customers to fiber. To date, we have converted more than 8,000 customers to fiber-optics and that number continues to grow every day. We are by no means complete and there is a lot of work left to be done. We are also working with several of Vermont's Communications Union Districts (CUD's) to help bring fiber to more of Vermont's unserved and underserved communities. Our employees and contractors have been doing an amazing job engineering, constructing, and converting customers on a daily basis. Thank you for your continued support and patience as we continue to evolve our network. All of us at Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom are committed to providing exceptional service and the latest technology to our customers. Thank you for being a customer of Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom.
