Fidium has kicked off the final phase of Lamoille FiberNet’s Universal Service Plan and expanded its standard fiber "drop” distance from 500 feet to 2,000 feet.

This week, Fidium will begin construction on the final phase of Lamoille FiberNet’s Universal Service Plan. Funded by a Vermont Community Broadband Board grant and Consolidated Communications, the project will bring high-speed fiber internet services to more areas of Elmore, Hyde Park, Wolcott, Stowe and Morristown.

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.
