Fidium Hub

Eagle Lake will be getting a special distinction on Wednesday.

The city will soon be designated as a Gig Town.

A “Gig Town” event will be held Nov. 15 in Eagle Lake to celebrate the community’s connection to high-speed fiber internet access.

Attendees at this breakfast organized by the Chamber of Commerce offices in Charleston and Mattoon also heard from Consolidated Communications that 100% of locations within the city limits of those two communities and Oakland now have access to 2G fiberoptic highspeed internet service.

Fidium Fiber recently expanded multi-gig speed fiber-optic broadband coverage to addresses in Essex Junction, Essex Town and Colchester, as well as to Williston.

Internet service provider Consolidated Communications has ramped up activity in Harpswell to install its Fidium fiber-optic residential broadband service, which a town consultant said will close the town’s remaining broadband access gap.
 

Consolidated Communications will soon begin construction in Mankato to expand its Fidium Fiber service coverage to homes and businesses. Affected areas include neighborhoods near Lincoln Community Center, Front Street and Cherry Street.

Consolidated Communications is in the midst of bringing high-speed internet service to more than 20,000 households in Franklin and Chittenden counties through its subsidiary, Fidium Fiber
