When temps drop dangerously low, a strong connection helps Vermonters stay informed/supported.
Check weather alerts, access #telehealth, connect with neighbors, and monitor home safety tools without leaving the house. In extreme cold, #broadband helps us look out for ourselves and each other.

Fiber vs. Cable vs. DSL
Fiber: Data travels through glass strands, fastest & future proof.
Cable: Coaxial copper cables (cable TV) or hybrid fiber-coax. Shared neighborhood lines = slowdowns at peak hours.
DSL: Old copper telephone wires. Slow speed/speed drops with distance.
