I have never been to Vermont but everything I've read is that towns are pretty spread out from each other so this really stands out especially with Verizon rushing to get out of serving rural areas. Brookline- Population (US Census, 2000): 467 North Hero-Population (US Census, 2000): 810 South Hero- Population (US Census, 2000): 1696 Grand Isle- Population (US Census, 2000): 2377 Rough estimate but 5k folks that didn't have broadband now have services available. Corrected - Grand Isle number- Had county number in there in error -- Politicians and diapers have one thing in common. They should both be changed regularly, and for the same reason.

Comcast is not the super hero for providing to these 'Not so under served' areas!

benjii44 @comcast.net	I agree with this, comcast gets all the credit but just look who was there first and who made it possible by setting all the poles and doing all the line work for comcast to put there stuff on in order to serve these customers i believe it was fairpoint as comcast doesnt have a line crew to do this type of work as they keep laying off employees right before the holidays every year.
