The Northeast Kingdom Broadband Gap
Essex County deserves real internet
Vermont's Northeast Kingdom is consistently ranked among the most underserved areas for broadband in New England. Fiber buildout funded by state grants has been slow to reach the most rural towns. DSL from legacy carriers maxes out at painfully slow speeds. Satellite internet comes with high prices and data caps. Netafy's fixed wireless infrastructure is already serving the Kingdom — no waiting for the next grant cycle.
Closing the Broadband Gap
While fiber expansion projects crawl through permitting and construction phases, Netafy's tower-based network is already live in Essex County. Fixed wireless delivers broadband speeds without waiting years for someone to run cable down dirt roads in Guildhall or Maidstone.
Built for the NEK
Our tower network covers Essex County's rolling hills and river valleys. Non-line-of-sight technology reaches homes that older wireless systems couldn't serve — even through the thick tree cover that defines the Northeast Kingdom landscape.
Four-Season Reliability
Vermont winters don't slow us down. Our towers are engineered for ice, snow, and temperature extremes that the NEK is known for. Unlike satellite dishes that lose signal during storms, fixed wireless keeps your household connected.
