Customer Reviews for Internet Service Providers in Vermont
Customer Reviews
A South Burlington, VT Customer
XFINITY Cable
September 02, 2024 My internet provider has a fair price and they always email me with updates if it's ever down. Very rarely does it go down. Generally, they are very high speed and as a student I can reply on them. I am very pleased with Xfinity. They also have great customer service and when I needed to change the payment on my account, the sales rep on the phone was very kind and pleasant to work with.

Burlington Telecom Fiber
October 14, 2025 I have only had positive experiences with my internet provider. Super easy to set up, easy to get through to talk to customer service, fast speeds, and minimal outages in the 2 years I have used them. As a bonus they are a local company and not a giant corporation. They also provide discounted student rates and financial assistance for income qualified customers.

Burlington Telecom Fiber
December 29, 2024 It is great to have a locally operated internet service like Burlington Telecom. The customer service is fantastic, pricing very fair, and outages are infrequent. Having used Comcast in the past and had frequent issues, I know I will never leave BTC unless I have to.
A Burlington, VT Customer
Burlington Telecom Fiber
August 23, 2024 I am very happy with the internet service I receive. Pricing is very competitive for my area in comparison to other providers in my area. The internet speed I receive almost always matches the speed that I pay for with the bonus of being symmetrical for both upload and downloads. Perhaps the biggest benefit is the local customer service, when I changed addresses I was able to instantly talk on the phone with a real person who got service at my new address turned on within the hour. Any problems I have experienced have been both minor and resolved efficiently. I highly recommend this ISP to anyone in my area.
