Fidium Fiber expands to Hancock, bringing future-proof connectivity to community

Hancock to celebrate completion of multi-gig speed, all-fiber network during ribbon cutting at Hancock Farmer's Market on August 15

HANCOCK, N.H., - August 1, 2024 - Fidium Fiber has expanded its all-fiber network to Hancock, making its multi-gig speed service available to more than 900 homes and businesses in the community. To celebrate the completion of the network, Fidium Fiber will join local leaders and community members for a ribbon cutting during the Hancock Farmer's Market on Thursday, August 15 at 5:30pm.

"Hancock has worked with Consolidated Communications for six years to bring fiber optic internet to our small rural town," said Mollie Miller, chair of the Hancock Telecommunications Committee. "Throughout, Consolidated has been a loyal and creative partner. Thanks to Consolidated, federal infrastructure money and a committed Telecommunications Committee, our small town is finally moving into the 21st Century. For those of us who had previously been unserved, to have our internet speed jump overnight from 9 Mbps to 2 Gigs is nothing short of a miracle. We are grateful beyond words."

Fiber broadband is cited as the best internet service by 63% of Americans, featuring faster upload and download speeds compared to other connection types. With the expansion of Fidium's future-proof all-fiber network, residents and businesses can now connect to symmetrical multi-gig speed internet and all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection.

"We're excited to celebrate the expansion of Fidium Fiber to Hancock's residents and businesses," said 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 build the future together in Hancock, and to bring the benefits of Fidium Fiber to the community."
