The VTel Service Guarantee
Once yearly, if you feel that we could ever have done a better job serving you (for any reason), simply let us know and we will apply a credit for one month of the affected service. We ask only that you tell us how we could have done a better job.
We welcome your calls as a chance to improve. We want you to think of VTel as “the best service I have ever encountered”.
The VTel Price Guarantee
If you ever learn of a lower price tell us from a competitor for a comparable service, we’ll send $10 to thank you, and we’ll match the lower price or end any contract with no penalty. We’ve been serving Vermonters since 1890. We’ve never seen a lower price we can’t beat.
Surge Protector Use Required
You must use a surge protector.
Electric surge protectors are available at big box electronic stores or even online at Amazon, as well as many hardware and drug stores. If VTel’s Internet router or other equipment in your home is destroyed because you didn’t use a surge protector you will be billed replacement cost. Read more about our policy on surge protectors here.

VTel’s caps for Internet usage exist, and will vary based on VTel’s determination of what is fair and reasonable; (B) VTel Internet or VTelevision users cannot re-sell VTel Internet or VTelevision to 3rd parties, whether via WiFi, wireless, wire, or other means, without written consent from VTel.
