Jan. 13, 2026 – Sertex Broadband Solutions has been awarded a $1.58 million contract to expand a community-owned fiber-to-the-home network in southeastern Vermont, adding approximately 60 miles of new fiber infrastructure across five towns.

The expansion will extend service to West Brattleboro, Dummerston, Marlboro, Newfane, and Guilford, and builds on Sertex’s prior work constructing the region’s existing network for Deerfield Valley Communications Union District, or DVFiber.

The contract expands a gigabit-capable, fiber-to-the-home network built by Sertex with DVFiber. Great Works Internet provides service over the network, and has already connected nearly 5,000 locations, most of which were previously unserved or underserved.
