Vermont Telephone Company, Inc. Information

VTel’s Mission: World-Class Technology with Down-Home Service. VTel is a small family-owned telephone company, serving 14 rural Vermont villages, based in Springfield, VT . Some VTel farms and rural homes have received continuous telephone service from when we first began operations in 1890. We provided the phone line that enabled Calvin Coolidge to be sworn in as United States President, at Plymouth Notch, VT, on August 3, 1923. Many team members have been with us for 40 years. We answer our telephone calls on the first ring. We are Vermonters serving Vermonters. Our mission is World-Class technology with Down-Home Service. Some folks -- who aren’t yet our customers -- are surprised to learn VTel is proudly part of a U.S. tradition of small rural telephone companies who are also innovators. We were first in Vermont to offer Internet. We were first in Vermont to build fiber to homes. We were first in Vermont to offer billion-bit-per-second GigE internet. We were first with 100 Gig data paths. We expect to soon be first to integrate 4G/LTE wireless mobile broadband with Smart Grid, to help make Vermont more green.
