SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. -
FairPoint Communications will spend
$6.6 million to expand broadband coverage to 19 rural communities around

The target community areas include
unserved portions of: Bethel, Bradford, Brownington, Chelsea, Corinth,
Dummerston, Eden, Fairlee, Guilford, Johnson, Pittsfield, Readsboro, Thetford,
