Paper copies are available at town clerk’s offices, online at https://forms.office.com/g/LVNtYN2qBp , and can be done on your phone with our QR code, at right.

See details about the drop survey and participating towns at: Will you need to pay to connect to Fidium Fiber internet? We need to hear from you! – Lamoille FiberNet: https://bit.ly/3ZxecpG 

 As of September 23, 2024, we have received 86 responses and learned that almost 40 households from Belvidere, Cambridge, Eden, Hyde Park, Johnson, Waterville, or Wolcott may have non-standard drops that require customers to pay to connect to Fidium Fiber. 

Of those 40 residents, half reported that their home or business is more than 500 feet from the pole line/road, and/or does not have existing telephone poles or underground conduit, or the conduit is in poor condition. If that describes your situation, your drop is NON-standard and it is important that we hear from you. Lamoille FiberNet has funding specifically allocated to assist people (who live in the above towns) in this situation so that they can connect to Fidium Fiber.

Signing up for Fidium with a “long drop”? March 31 Deadline!   

If you’re going to order Fidium Fiber, and the distance from your home or business to the pole/pedestal (i.e., the “drop”) is long, the cost of running fiber that distance can be a barrier to adopting broadband internet service. You can apply to Lamoille FiberNet’s Long Drop Program for funding to offset the long drop cost -- deadline is 3/31/25.

Lamoille FiberNet’s LONG DROP PROGRAM — March 31 Deadline!

Bringing fiber internet to a home or business from the distribution network (e.g., the pole at the end of the driveway) is called a “drop.” The cost of non-standard or long “drops” can be a barrier to adopting broadband internet service. To help residents and businesses afford to connect to Fidium’s newly constructed fiber services, Lamoille FiberNet Communications Union District created a Long Drop Program -- deadline is 3/31/25.
