Working together to bring high-speed internet to Southern Vermont

SoVT CUD is a municipality formed according to Vermont statute 30 VSA chapter 82. We are run by volunteers in our local communities (see Governance). Our purpose is to bring high-speed Internet service (broadband) to under-served areas of southern Vermont. If you are interested in helping out, have questions about eligibility, or would like to learn more, contact us.

Fidium Fiber is bringing high-speed, fiber internet to our Southern Vermont CUD towns.
