When that next ice storm knocks out power lines or spring flooding threatens local infrastructure, your internet connection shouldn't add to your worries. We designed Maple Broadband's network specifically for Vermont's challenging conditions—because we know staying connected matters most when conditions get tough.

Weather-Resistant Technology You Can Count On
We chose fiber optic technology over traditional copper lines for a reason. While moisture, temperature swings, and corrosion affect copper cables—all too common in our Vermont climate—our fiber cables remain completely sealed and protected against the elements.
Your connection stays strong through February blizzards, April mud season floods, and those surprise summer thunderstorms that knock out everything else. The glass fibers that carry your data don't get affected by weather the way older copper networks do.
Multiple Backup Routes Keep You Connected
We built our network with what we call redundant architecture—multiple backup routes for your internet traffic. When construction crews accidentally cut a cable or severe weather affects one part of our network, your connection automatically switches to alternative paths. Think of it like having multiple routes to get to town—if Route 7 closes, you can still get there via the back roads.
This matters because many of you work from home, run businesses, or depend on reliable internet for telehealth appointments. Having multiple backup systems means you can count on your connection when it matters most.

Future-Proof Infrastructure Built to Last
Our 100% fiber network uses the latest technology. Instead of pushing electrical signals through aging copper wires, we send pulses of light through glass fibers—transmitting your data at the speed of light. It's not just faster; we built it to serve our community for decades to come.
Many neighboring areas still rely on copper infrastructure installed years ago that struggles with Vermont's demanding conditions. By investing in all-fiber technology from the start, we ensure Addison County has the infrastructure it needs not just for today, but for whatever the future brings.
We Catch Problems Before They Affect You
Rather than waiting for issues to arise, we monitor our network performance around the clock. Our team conducts regular maintenance and inspections to identify potential problems before they affect your service. It's like getting your car serviced regularly—much better to catch small issues early than deal with a breakdown when you're rushing to an important meeting.
Why This Matters for Our Community
Reliable internet isn't just about faster downloads or smoother video calls—though those are nice benefits. It's about enabling local businesses to compete on a global scale, helping students access educational resources, and ensuring our rural communities don't get left behind in an increasingly connected world.
When we invest in weather-resistant, future-proof infrastructure, we invest in Addison County's long-term prosperity. Every local business that can reliably serve customers online, every student who can participate fully in digital learning, and every family that can stay connected with loved ones benefits from truly dependable internet service.
We built this network to Vermont standards—tough, reliable, and designed to serve our community well for years to come. Because when the weather outside gets frightful, your internet connection should be anything but.
