Fidium Fiber brings multi-gig speed internet network to Lake Sunapee area

More than 3,800 homes and businesses in Sunapee, Newbury and New London can now access Fidium's all-fiber network

SUNAPEE, N.H., - Oct. 14, 2024 - Fidium Fiber has expanded its multi-gig speed internet network to more than 3,800 homes and businesses in Sunapee, Newbury and New London, N.H.

"With online learning, working from home, and even telehealth visits, it is more important than ever to stay connected," said Graham Hoffman, broadband committee chair for the town of Newbury. "We were thrilled to find out that our town of Newbury was awarded the funding to provide the whole town with high-speed fiber optic internet. A huge thank you to all who played a part; we could not have done this without your guidance and support."

Fiber broadband is rated as the best internet service delivery method among 63% of U.S. consumers, featuring faster upload and download speeds compared to other connection types. For rural communities in particular, fiber drives economic growth, leading to 44% higher GDP and 18% higher per capita income. Fidium's expansion of its all-fiber network brings these opportunities and all the benefits that come with access to fiber broadband connection to these communities.

"In expanding fiber access to the Lake Sunapee area, we are proud to help build the future in these communities," said Jeff McIver, senior government relations manager 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. Fidium Fiber will bring countless benefits to these communities across New Hampshire."

Today, more than 250,000 New Hampshire homes and businesses have access to Fidium, with additional availability is coming soon across the state. Residents and businesses can learn more and get updates about future service availability at FidiumFiber.com
