Fidium brings future-proof connectivity to Bethlehem and Whitefield

More than 3,600 combined homes and businesses in Bethlehem and Whitefield have gained access to Fidium's all-fiber network

BETHLEHEM & WHITEFIELD, N.H., - Dec. 2, 2024 - Fidium has expanded its symmetrical, multi-gig speed internet service to Bethlehem and Whitefield, N.H., expanding its service availability in the area and bringing its future-proof fiber network available to more than 3,600 homes and businesses.

"This is a huge step forward for residents of Whitefield and neighboring towns," said Arthur Duguay, representative to the Coos County Broadband Committee for the Town of Whitefield. "I am so pleased to witness the installation of fiber throughout the areas served by Fidium. Living in one of the more remote areas of town for more than 20 years without adequate broadband service has been a source of frustration, especially with so much of our daily life dependent on good internet service."

Recent studies confirm that fiber broadband drives economic growth, in particular for rural communities, increasing business growth by 213% and leading to 44% higher GDP. For individuals, fiber access resulted in self-employment growth of 10% and increased per capita income by 18%. Fiber also increases real estate values, as single-family homes with fiber access have a 4.9% higher value than those without. Fidium's expansion of its all-fiber network brings these opportunities to Bethlehem and Whitefield, as well as all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection.

"In expanding fiber access, we are proud to help build the future in Bethlehem and Whitefield", said Jeffrey McIver, senior government relations manager for Fidium. "Fiber brings tremendous benefits and transforms how we connect to one another, especially in rural communities, increasing access to educational, economic, healthcare and entertainment opportunities and options. We are excited to bring the benefits of Fidium these and more communities across New Hampshire."

Today, more than 276,000 New Hampshire homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including Littleton, Northumberland, Berlin, Randolph and Gorham. Additional availability coming soon, including in Jefferson, Franconia and more locations across the state.
