NEK Broadband, CVFiber launch fiber internet plan

Share article

ST. JOHNSBURY – NEK Broadband and CVFiber (collectively, NEKCV) recently announced their newest internet offering: a 50/50 Mbps plan for $59 per month.

NEKCV Executive Director Christa Shute said, “This price reduction is possible because of Vermont’s commitment of ARPA grant dollars and Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment (BEAD) grant funds, which together will fully fund construction to all unserved addresses in our district. By not borrowing for that construction, we can lower our price accordingly.” 

In the past few years, NEK Broadband and CVFiber have built over 1,300 miles of fiber-optic cable to addresses without reliable internet service.

Basic 50/50 plan highlights include, $59 per month, no installation fee, u8nlimited data and local customer and technical support.

For households or businesses with heavier demands such as frequent large file uploads and downloads, high-volume simultaneous usage, or the need to support a large number of smart-home devices, faster plans ranging from 100 Mbps to 2 Gbps are also available. 

Learn about all the plans and sign up for updates by visiting nekbroadband.org/ (NEK residents) or cvfiber.net/ (Central Vermont residents).
