Are you a Starlink beta tester?

March 15, 2021 – Lamoille FiberNet is asking anyone who is testing a Starlink system to please take this brief survey: https://bit.ly/3aydnBZ. The survey is collecting information on Starlink testers’ experiences.

What is Starlink? It is a system that provides internet access via thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO), working in combination with ground transceivers. The connection speeds and reliability can vary widely, and this survey is intended to get more data on how it works in Vermont. Thank you!

(Note: Lamoille FiberNet is not offering Starlink systems and does not have information on how to be a Starlink tester — we are just helping to spread the word about the survey.)

The mission of Lamoille FiberNet Communications Union District (LFCUD) is to make locally controlled, affordable and reliable high-speed internet service available to every address in our member towns of Belvidere, Cambridge, Eden, Hyde Park, Johnson, Morristown, Stowe and Waterville. For more info, go to http://www.LamoilleFiber.net.

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.
