Hampton celebrates all-fiber network launch with Fidium’s Gig Town recognition

New fiber network delivers reliable, high-speed connectivity to support economic growth, remote work, and quality of life 

HAMPTON, N.H. — July 7, 2026 — Community leaders, local partners and residents gathered to celebrate the Town of Hampton's official designation as a "Gig Town," marking the community's connection to Fidium's 100% all-fiber network. 

"Reliable internet isn't a luxury anymore – it's as essential as the roads and the water lines, and it's part of what makes a home worth living in and a business worth starting,” said Rep. Nichols Bridle (R-Hampton). “When a family can work from their kitchen table, when a shop owner down at the Beach can run their whole operation without the connection dropping, when a landlord can offer a unit that's actually wired for the way people live now – that's real value, and it makes Hampton a place people can afford to stay. Earning Gig Town status is a real step in that direction, and I'm grateful to Fidium for investing in it here.” 

The recognition, celebrated during a ceremonial ribbon cutting with the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce, highlights the arrival of reliable, future-ready connectivity, bringing multi-gig internet speeds to homes and businesses, and supporting economic growth, innovation and quality of life across the region. 

"The Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce is thrilled to recognize this milestone with Fidium and our community leaders,” said John Nyhan, president of the Hampton Area Chamber of Commerce. “High-speed fiber connectivity is a game-changer for local businesses seeking to grow and compete in the digital economy. This Gig Town designation reflects our shared commitment to making Hampton an increasingly attractive destination for business, talent, and investment."

The all-fiber network provides the capacity to support growing digital demands for years to come, enabling remote work, education, telehealth, small business growth and more.

"We're proud to bring fiber to the town and support its vision of a connected community where families, students, and local businesses can thrive together."
