Vt. broadband crews navigate bad weather, tough terrain to get the job done
BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – The push to expand broadband has more hurdles this year thanks to the weather. The flooding is the latest tribulation the CVFiber and Eustis Cable crews have endured while trying to connect Vermonters.
Regardless of flooding, the beautiful scenery that makes the Green Mountain State so special lies at the crux of Vermont’s broadband issue.
“They can’t get a bucket truck up there. They have to climb that bolt and use four-wheelers and side-by-sides to get all the cabling and equipment up there,” said Lucas Stubbs from CVFiber.
