BROWNVILLE, Maine — Nov. 12, 2025 — Fidium, recognized by CNET as the best internet provider in Maine, has expanded its multi-gig speed network to Brownville, Maine.

We’re helping improve internet connectivity, while also providing generational infrastructure that will support families, students, and businesses well into the future.”

Fidium representatives will be in the community over the coming weeks to share more information about service options and availability, participating in local events and stopping by individual homes and businesses with fiber access.

More than 459,000 Mainers across 340 communities can now connect to Fidium’s reliable fiber network, which is the most expansive in the state, spanning over 20,000 miles. In addition to future-ready speeds, this connectivity delivers countless benefits for communities, including improved educational outcomes for students, telehealth and reduced healthcare costs, and enhanced economic opportunities for remote workers and small business owners.

Fidium provides reliable, future-ready connectivity that enables customers to stream their favorite entertainment, capitalize on the benefits of working from home, and grow their small businesses through reliable connectivity. Fidium residential and small business internet plans are backed by the Fidium Promise, including verified speeds, complete Wi-Fi coverage, flexible installation times (including evenings and weekends), and expert support. Fidium has been named in the Top 10 Providers for Real-World Speeds by BroadbandNow and earned CNET’s Best Internet Providers recognition across its service area.

Recently, the company announced the unification of its residential, business, and wholesale services under the Fidium name. This marks a new era of growth for Fidium, with plans for continued expansion of its fiber network to more than 80 percent of locations across its footprint. The company has invested approximately $1.7 billion in fiber infrastructure since 2020.
