Maple Broadband is bringing high speed future-proof fiber internet to Addison County. Service will be launching later this month in portions of Cornwall, Salisbury, and a small corner of Middlebury.
In 2022, Maple Broadband’s focus was on securing funding and beginning construction on the foundation of their network. Here’s where they’re at—and where they’re going in 2023:
- Construction began October 3, with 25.7 miles of fiber laid to-date
- Building is paused for the winter; crews will resume work in spring
- 100+ miles of fiber will be laid in 2023
- Service is coming later this year to portions of Shoreham, Orwell, Whiting, more of Cornwall, Salisbury, and a small portion of northwest Leicester
We know you’re eager for faster internet, and we’re working as quickly as safety allows to complete the mainline build so we can get you connected.
Fiber internet service is available at speeds of up to 1 Gbps (1,000 Mbps) upload and download. Prices start at $69.95 per month (plus installation) for 50/50 Mbps.
We also offer phone service to broadband subscribers at competitive rates.

Maple Broadband is a Communications Union District (CUD) composed of 20 towns in Addison County. Maple Broadband is a not-for-profit municipal entity governed by volunteer representatives from towns that are members of the district. Funded by grants, donations, and loans, not taxes, and run by people like you, we exist solely to build a better, more connected future for our communities.
How do we fund our fiber buildouts and how can you help?
You may have heard about the millions in grant funding going to build broadband networks. Maple Broadband is a recipient of some of that funding, and this is how we are paying for our initial construction.
Grant funding available through the State of Vermont, while substantial, will not cover all the costs of building fiber throughout Addison County. Every grant dollar raised reduces the amount of loans (and corresponding interest) that Maple Broadband must incur, which results in lower prices for subscribers.
To date, we have received $380,000 from member towns’ American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allocation.
