All Points Broadband Delays $800 Million Virginia Rollout as Only 200 Rappahannock Properties Can Sign Up

1 articles · Updated · Augusta Free Press · Jul 13

Summary

  • $800 million in public-backed broadband contracts has left All Points Broadband under pressure as rural Virginia rollouts lag, with only about 200 of 1,500 target properties in Rappahannock currently able to sign up.
  • APB has blamed easement problems and Virginia Department of Transportation permitting delays for slowing last-mile connections, while customers report repeated vague installation timelines.
  • Loudoun County shows a similar gap: nearly 800 addresses can sign up out of an 8,600-address target market, adding to frustration in Augusta and other rural areas.
  • Culpeper County already terminated its APB contract last year after delays left just one home connected, then switched in 2025 to FiberLync, where progress has since appeared steadier.
