New Hampshire, Vermont communities get connected to Fidium Fiber’s future-proof network

More than 2,000 homes and businesses in Northumberland, Stark, and Stratford, N.H., and in Maidstone, Vt. now have access to multi-gig internet speeds

NORTHUMBERLAND, N.H., - September 5, 2024 - Fidium Fiber has expanded its multi-gig speed fiber network, with service now available to more than 2,000 combined New Hampshire (Northumberland, Stark, and Stratford) and Vermont (Maidstone) homes and businesses.

"Fiber buildout in the Town of Northumberland is a fundamental economic driver", said Robin L. Irving, Coos County Broadband Committee representative for Northumberland. "Over the past decade while Northumberland experienced slow systemic recovery from the loss of its anchor business, Groveton Village benefited from the fiber backbone along the corridor, positively impacting hub services and businesses. With sheltering in place for COVID-19, however, education, business, and homes became reliant on affordable and reliable fiber service beyond the trunk. Fiber to the premise addresses this reliance and equitably expands connectivity and opportunity for market segmentation to all areas of Northumberland. The Town of Northumberland welcomes Fidium Fiber's expansion and anticipates that the new fiber options will promote creativity, diversity, and growth throughout the North Country."

"The Town of Stark is excited to be included in Fidium Fiber's expansion", said Crystal Pelletier, selectman for the Town of Stark. "We have a small population that is spread out over a large geographic area. That combination makes it difficult for us to find reliable high speed internet options, much less one that is affordable! The internet has become so much a necessity of daily life, that the inclusion of fiber lines to our community will have a significant and positive impact."

Fiber broadband is considered the best internet service delivery method among 63 percent of U.S. consumers. With the expansion of Fidium's future-proof all-fiber network, residents and businesses can now connect to symmetrical multi-gig speed internet and the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection.

"In expanding fiber access, we are proud to help build the future in the Northumberland-area", Jeff McIver, senior manager of government relations for Consolidated Communications. "Fiber brings tremendous benefits and transforms how we connect to one another, increasing access to educational, economic, healthcare and entertainment opportunities and options. We are excited to bring the benefits of Fidium Fiber these and more communities across New Hampshire and northern New England."

Today, more than 360,000 combined homes and businesses in New Hampshire (260,000) and Vermont (110,000) have access to Fidium, including Littleton, N.H, and Barton, Vt, with additional availability coming soon to Bethlehem, Whitefield, Wolcott and more area communities.
