Fidium Fiber to begin construction in Milton

Construction set to begin in Milton as Fidium Fiber expands multi-gig service to serve more than 5,700 homes and businesses in community

MILTON, Vt. - Sept. 9, 2024 - Fidium Fiber is expanding its all-fiber internet network in Milton, as well as parts of Colchester and Georgia, bringing multi-gig speed service to more than 5,700 homes and businesses in the community.

Fiber broadband is considered the best internet service delivery method among 63 percent of U.S. consumers, 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 will soon have access to symmetrical multi-gig speed internet and the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection.

"We are thrilled to be able to bring Fidium Fiber to Milton and we appreciate the community's patience while we build this new fiber infrastructure", said Jeffrey Austin, vice president of network planning and fiber build strategy at Consolidated Communications. "We have seen how fiber has transformed communities, connecting residents and businesses to opportunities not previously accessible. Over the next several months, we will be working to expand our multi-gig speed all-fiber network and upgrade locations to access our future-proof fiber internet."

WHEN: Fiber infrastructure construction is scheduled to begin as soon as September 14, with exact start dates varying by location.

WHERE: Construction will impact specific areas in the community, including the general area detailed here. To check your address for service availability, visit FidiumFiber.com.

WHAT: The work of installing new fiber optic lines along roads and in public utility areas requires some digging and climbing of utility poles. Crews will be working along the edge of private property within the public right-of-way and/or public utility easements. This work may require some temporary traffic detours, noise and dust. Paint markings and/or flags may be placed in areas where construction is active. Flags will be removed once work is complete in the area. Crews will work quickly, clean up after themselves and will aim to minimize any disruption.

More information on the fiber build progress will be shared with town and city officials, as well as residents. Mailers, door hangers and construction alerts will be distributed to keep the public informed, and Fidium representatives will be visiting neighborhoods to share more about what to expect during construction, and how to sign up to be the first notified as soon as service is ready to install.
