Gigabit Internet and phone service for $48 a month? It really exists

Yesterday, we brought you the troubling tale of AT&T offering 768Kbps Internet for $20 a month (but the fee was actually more than $20 once you read the fine print).

Today, let’s shine a light on the flip side—a deal so good you’re going to be jealous of the few people who actually get to buy it. In a small part of Vermont, thanks to an ambitious local telco and $116 million in federal funds, residents can buy gigabit Internet and phone service for prices starting at $48 a month.
