The Woodlands, TEXAS — Fidium today announced it has been recognized as the Highest Quality Gaming ISP in the West South Central Region for 2026 by PCMag in its annual Best Gaming ISPs rankings. Leveraging data from hundreds of thousands of reader-submitted speed tests, the award highlights top-tier providers that deliver the best real-world connection quality across latency, jitter, speed, price and overall satisfaction.
