Vermont Business Magazine ECFiber located in Royalton, Vermont announced Thursday plans to increase its speeds by 40-500 percent, but not its prices. “Our Basic plan will increase from 7 to 10 Mbps; our Standard plan from 20 to 25 Mbps; our Ultra plan will double from 50 to 100, and our new 'Wicked' plan will increase by a factor of 5 from 100 to 500” said Corey Klinck, ECFiber’s Chief Technical Officer. ECFiber’s current Wicked customers will see an increase from 400 to 500 and a price decrease. ECFiber’s speeds are symmetrical, meaning that download and upload speeds are equal. Symmetrical service is becoming essential for interactive internet applications and for home businesses depending on cloud computing solutions.
“Since 2014, ECFiber has doubled its Basic speed and increased its higher tier speeds by as much as 500%, all without increasing prices,” stated Monroe. “We intend to continue increasing speeds each year, to keep up with our subscribers’ increasing bandwidth needs.”
ECFiber’s internet plans have no monthly data caps. An uncapped internet environment encourages entrepreneurs and economic growth. Despite the trend toward instituting data caps among commercial internet providers, ECFiber believes that caps are inconsistent with its mission as a community network. An unconstrained online environment frees businesses and individuals to be creative and innovative.
