Introducing our Fiber Fun Fact series!

In each post, we'll break down a fun fact relating to fiber, how it works, and why it matters for the communities we serve. Starting with the basics: the fiber-optic cable itself.

Every stream, upload, and video call over fiber travels at the actual speed of light through glass strands thinner than a human hair.

Rural Vermont, running on the fastest thing in the universe. 🌌

Barb stopped by our table at the Levitt Amp concert series last Sunday.

She switched to NEK Broadband just a week ago and she’s already impressed! Reliable service, a fair price, and no complaints. That’s the kind of switch we love to hear about. 💚

Our pleasure! Looking forward to it!

Since getting connected to fiber internet back in March, Rural Arts Collaborative has felt the difference. 🎨

We caught up with Robin, their interim executive director, to hear how reliable broadband is helping them keep programs running smoothly and stay connected with their community across the Northeast Kingdom.

Yesterday, members of the NEK Broadband team celebrated a special milestone: Victory Town Office became our 2,500th customer! 🎉

We had the opportunity to connect with residents, learn more about the history of the town office, share some delicious cake, and celebrate the installation of reliable, lightning-fast internet.
The installation was seamless, and by the time we left, the town office was enjoying a solid 100 Mbps upload and download speed. ⚡️

We’re proud to bring a strong, reliable connection to this remote corner of Vermont and look forward to connecting even more homes and businesses in the months ahead.

Here’s to 2,500 and many more to come! 🎂

Big news! 🎉 We’ve reached 2,500 customers and counting!

This milestone belongs to our whole community: the towns we serve, the crews working in the field, the teams behind the scenes, and everyone who believes in bringing reliable, high-quality broadband to rural Vermont.
