They should and will get it.

Then…. the state should get its act together and mandate consolidation of all these small co-ops with GMP for a statewide regulated utility.

Redundancy would be removed over a couple of years and then the same cost and benefit can be received by each Vermonter.

Yeah...So the whole reason we have utility co-ops is because GMP and the "big players" were unwilling to run cable to a lot of the rural areas.

Isn't that part of the indirect cost of living in a rural area? I mean there's all sorts of consequences to the choices people make.

I live 5 minutes outside Montpelier on a paved road right off of rt12 and GMP still won’t service it, not all of us want to live in Burlington

Correct. Time to end this flat out inequity in service, price and benefit from a basic public good.
Vermont can do better.

Question is, do our legislators care?
