After several years struggling with Comcast for business internet (their product is fine but their customer service is very poor) and trying several options for business telephone service, we we given the opportunity to transfer to Burlington Telecom when they opened a fiber line along Wiliston Road.The customer service has been amazing and the product- both internet and multiline phone service has been fast and DEPENDABLE. Would strongly recommend to anyone!!

Great customer service, very helpful in making my decisions. The installers were very professional, helpful and knowledgeable about the products and service, they helped me with quick and friendly service. Very happy and the internet service is FAST! Im learning all sorts about being a non cable connected individual.

I like how the prices for internet and phone have stayed the same. I have made alot of videos and have gotten alot of great use out of the internet, and heck with my new TP link box, my internet is faster than the Afghan presidents exit. Besides God came to me in a dream and told me they wanted me to sing at their Christmas party. Loyal customer humor.

I wish I could give zero stars. Not only do they provide incredibly slow internet at outrageous prices, but they refuse to cancel our service despite moving out of the area. We have tried to contact them several times to cancel and are assured we will receive a call back; no return calls have been received. We have now been charged for services we no longer have, in a place we no longer live. Too bad the only other legitimate option in Burlington is Comcast, which also is terrible.

New to BT for Business. High marks because they are friendly, available when sought and BT delivers the speed it says it will. Our well known nationally provider delivers Up to the same speed, yet every speed test reflects about 1/6th the speed.

The internet is really spotty and horrible. You pay for 150 mbps and a lot times it was at 2 or 3 mbps. Use Verizon or another company y.

Best ISP Ive ever used in my entire life. Responsive, helpful, professional, and the best speed for value around. If you are in Burlington, VT and you need internet, this company is the way to go.

Over the years I have worked for two businesses who have used Burlington Telecom. Consistently Burlington Telecom has offered great pricing, fast connections and responsive and knowledgeable support. The support we have received has always been world class. The staff are easy to get hold off, they know what they are talking about and they do what they say when they say they will do it. (And all for a better price than a national ISP who shall rename nameless.) Since the start of the pandemic Burlington Telecom has even surpassed the high expectations they set for themselves. At the start of the pandemic we needed to switch from our inhouse phone system to one that would enable remote work. They were able to impliment a solution within days. It was mindblowing. Burlington Telecom truly is the best business ISP I have worked with in my 20+ years in IT.

I was disappointed with Burlington Telecoms customer service when I tried to cancel their service. I emailed them to cancel their service and they never emailed me back. I learned later that you must call them to cancel. Months later, I was forced to pay for an internet at a house that I no longer resided at anymore. I was particularly frustrated they did not show any flexibility or understanding to our problems. Relocating to serve your country abroad during a pandemic is tough and more understanding to our circumstances would have been appreciated.

I have had internet service for many years, mostly with Adelphia and then when it became Comcast. When we moved into Burlington 7 years ago, we signed up with Burlington Telecom. Weve never looked back, since making that switch. Internet speed is fast, service is competitively priced, and there is nothing like having a real live human (who is local) answer the phone when you call. Thats worth the price of admission, by itself!Even more importantly, I have gotten to know some of the techs that work for BT and they are awesome! I want to give a special shoutout to Beau Tetreault who, IMHO, goes above and beyond the call of duty everytime. If Vermont allowed billboards to exist in this state, BT could say you may like your service, but we have Beau!. He, of course, isnt the only great tech and its great to get personalized service from a team that actually knows what theyre doing. In this age of corporate giants, its comforting to know there is a company who is local and actually cares. Thumbs up to Beau, Eric, Nick and the entire group at Burlington Telecom. Youve got a fan for life!

Ive used Burlington Telecom for my business since opening years ago and I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER! Ive lived in many places and have worked with Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, etc etc large companies. I currently have Comcast at home (because I live in Williston, I cant wait until Burlington Telecom expands!) And I would literally pay twice as much to work with Burlington Telecom at home instead. Comcast could care less, their support is painful to deal with and they are slower, constantly dropping and I feel like every week I have to deal with problems. Burlington Telecom has been an absolute delight to work with, I feel like they treat me like a friend instead of a customer. They have reached out and offered to lower my bill and reorganize my plan to better suit my usage!! WHATTTTT a company calling to charge me less and give me MORE!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME, if youre in their coverage zone you have to switch to Burlington Telecom to gain not only a great company, but a great friend who looks out for your best interest

Worst service on earth! Rip off WiFi is not reliable! Save your money, my cable is always turning off and on. When I call Burlington telecom I feel like twilight zone episode. Worst network ever! The city should have let this one die.

Burlington Telecom time and again has responded to my questions and needs with answers and service that were polite, respectful, highly informative and effective. At first I thought I just happened to draw a top employee, but several have all been the same. Now instead of luring me into higher priced packages they are advertising for reducing costs with classes offered.to show me how (Ive been lazy signing up for the course). A couple neighbors gave a similar story when I mentioned my experience.

The wifi is generally fast. Their service is kind responsive, and professional. Nevertheless, their prices are outrageous and ridiculous! Burlington TC will charge you for simple modifications within your plan, for signing up, for leaving a plan, etc. Say, if you leave for a month and would like to shut down the wifi for the time you are away in order not to pay for the full month, you still have to pay a surcharge in order to do so.

The network and its tech staff are second to none. No bait and switch pricing, no harassing upsets or marketing, just good, clean, fast and reliable service. Whenever Ive had a problem - and it was always on my end - they were able to troubleshoot online immediately and walk me through the remedy. Lets hope the ownership of this business stays local. I highly, highly recommend.

We have just gone back to Burlington Telecom after many unsatisfactory years with the other cable company. I have to say the experience has been fantastic. Everyone from customer service to the technicians have been great. Our poor technician was here much longer than expected as old wiring issues hounded him, but he did a great job and everything works fine. Thanks you BT

Review №28

This company is by far the most honest and fair service provider I have ever used. I have been on all three coasts of the US and I have not met a company yet that has been this honest about pricing. Calling in to set up the installation was simple and genuinely surprised me on how much they give you for the price. If you have the ability to switch, then switch to BT.Service has been steady and exactly what Im paying for with no slow downs at any point of the day.

Been using the service for several years and generally satisfied.HOWEVER and a big however, they just, unbeknownst to any customers,recently implemented a limit of sending no more than 100 emails/day so my service with them will be ending just as soon as I can set up with another provider.

Although I had problems with the cable, I was getting rid of it anyway and they were wonderful to deal with. Now with just internet, I am ecstatic beyond belief, having lived with Xfinitys terrible service for years where my router was used as a hot spot and I rarely had even 20mb of service. Now happily floating along at 300mb, and delighted with the friendly and courteous customer service. No game playing about rates and services with these guys, just straight up honesty and fair dealing.

All the times i have called for help to reset my remote they have always been very understanding and helpful. And when they were unable to answer because they were in a meeting. they called me as soon as they could. the only time i had a problem was when i had my daughter bring back my remote that was broken and i had lost the back and you wanted to charge me $10.00 . But otherwise i am very happy with Burlington Telecom.

Burlington Telecom gave me a window of 4-6pm, Technician called me at 3:50 to say he would be here in 10min. Arrived on time, total install was about an hour or so no complaints yet.

By far the best internet service provider in Burlington. I only wish it could expand to other surrounding areas, like South Burlington. Ive been a customer since 2006 and never had any major issues. Ive had their phone service for a few years and it worked great. However, I cannot comment on their TV service as I have never subscribed to it.

This is the worst internet you can get, they installed our homes router when are family was away and when we came back it was hanging from the celing with all the wires scrambled and in a big mess. When we used are devices, we had worse internet then your local McDonalds, which is to say, TRASH. TRUST ME, you do not want to pay for this, go with xfinity or another big internet provider. Even though its nice to support local businesses, the reason the companies are big is because they are good.

Review №54

They aren’t Comcast/Xfinity but …If you think you’ll save money by going with BT versus Comcast/Xfinity, chances are, you won’t. While they have fiber-optic service, it really is not cheaper, nor are they any more speedy. The cost of adding cable TV is ridiculously over-priced. The best? The additional charge for a Digital HD box at 10.00$/mth. Wow! The channels are broadcast digitally (no more analog), but even with the newest TV, you need to pay them for a box so that it can be retransmitted, to get HD viewing. ONLY in Vermont! Also ONLY in Vermont, cheaper internet and tv service if your receiving social services or a student! Able-bodied, working full-time? Full price!Other drawbacks - no anti-virus/malware protection; no hot-spot service beyond 5(?) and those are only in Burlington. For virtually the same price, you get the protection AND nationwide hot-spot service at no additional cost with Comcast.

Review №55

Fantastic local customer service, same-day fixes for issues, the fastest internet Ive experienced on the East Coast, and very reasonable priced. Unlike competitors, they dont change their prices mid-year, add any fees, or pass their taxes on to you as additional charges. Your bill will always be the same and you will always know in advance what it will be. Highly recommended. Also fiber-optic networks are in short supply, so if for some reason you need VERY fast high-volume internet, go with Burlington Telecom.

Ive had Burlington Telecom for a few months now and their customer service is leaps and bounds better than any other cable/internet provider Ive had before. Yes, there are some issues that will arise with any cable/internet company such as outings and slow connections, but Burlington Telecom is always on top of it and quick to solve the issue. They answer their phones, respond to their emails and are very knowledgeable and helpful. They are also very competitively priced compared to the larger, national companies. I highly recommend Burlington Telecom and the services they offer.

Review №62

Great fiber, but the worst customer service I have ever received from a telecommunications company. I had an issue with BT and contacted them in order to resolve it. Both the representative as well as his supervisor were more concerned with being right, than they were listening to what I had to say and trying to work towards a solution. You could tell that they wanted to get me off of the phone rather than trying to listen to what I had to say.I agree its sad/pathetic that a local company provides such bad customer service. I would strongly recommend against using BT even though their fiber is cheap and the product is good, its just not worth the headache of having to deal with them if something goes wrong.

I have been a customer of this Cable Company since day one . I can say there was a time . When it was a mess . They did not treat the customers well Especially Courtney!. The cable always seemed to go down .When you called , they had lame excuses to the problem. When I had someone that once installed cable .Check my wiring and gigabit box . It was messed up and out dated. Telecom said to me that there was nothing they could do . If I wanted it fixed . I had to pay for it . To make a long story short . After giving someone I will not name . A few nice words . I got what was needed .Years later . They have changed for the better . The cable does not have issues . like tiling or going out . IT is good .For those that think that this Company stinks . Change to Comcast / Dish or whatever . Good luck to you . It is better than speaking to someone from India or overseas . That you can not understand a word they are saying .. Stop crying and change service to another company .If you do your math . It is reasonable .They have made great strides to change for the better .And have proven to be a good company .

7/23/2021- I called 2 weeks ago to arrange for service for a family member. To date, I have not received the courtesy of a return call.Apparently, nothing much has changed since my last dealings with them 2 years ago.I rate them 00000 stars.Xfinity Xfinity, Xfinity !!!!!!Caveat emptor!!! Signed up and paid for 1g Internet speed. Discovered strictly by accident from a BT CS rep that my street is wired only for 150mg. Customer Service associate and manager were completely unapologetic about not advising us about this problem. Cancelling service and going back to Xfinity. One star is one star too many!!10/3- Two members of my condo Board have advised me that they knew absolutely nothing about the 150mg limitation to the service installed at this location.

It has been so great to have a local company serving our telecom/internet/entertainment needs. Any time we have had an issue -- whether needing a new remote or the occasional technical blip -- the service has been outstanding. I telecommute several days a week, so fast, reliable connection is essential. BT makes my home office work smoothly. We are so lucky to have fiber to our home despite the small size of our market. I say GO BT!

They treated me like I was wrong and are charging me anyway~Its really just the lame and cold way they went about it. Now they wont let me make a payment arrangement because they say I broke it once all ready. I explain to the very rude woman I am a single mom of 3, they dont care. They donot care about their community. I could carry on. It sad that Verizon has better customer care than this local company. NO STARS

Decent telecom services, priced correctly for the sub-par quality. My main issue with my service stems from the fact that a roommate returned all equipment associated with the account and BTV telecom claims it never happened, citing a receipt that would have been issued that was never issued. No longer living in the area I am utterly powerless to protest this as multiple phone calls resulted in nothing. I understand a business being skeptical in this situation but to have to pay for equipment that was returned and couldnt be located by BTV telecom is beyond unsatisfactory. Very glad to have wiped my hands clean of these clowns.
