Fidium brings first fiber internet connectivity to St. Johnsbury

Expansion of Vermont’s best and most extensive fiber network brings future-ready connectivity and economic opportunity 

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt.—Dec. 11, 2025 —Fidium has expanded its multi-gig speed network to St. Johnsbury, Vt., bringing new all-fiber internet access to more than 4,500 homes and businesses. 

“We couldn’t be more excited to see the progress of fiber internet expansion in St. Johnsbury, a major investment for our community’s future,” said Town Manager Chad Whitehead. “It gives our businesses the tools they need to grow, makes our town more attractive for families, and supports the projects that keep our community moving forward. Increasing access to reliable connectivity from Fidium and NEK Broadband across our region is part of building a strong foundation for everything we want to accomplish.” 

Unlike cable or wireless internet technologies, Fidium delivers symmetrical upload and download speeds up to 2 Gig (2000 Mbps) over a 100 percent fiber network.

“Reliable connectivity is a necessity no matter where you live,” said Jeffrey Austin, vice president of Network Planning and Fiber Build Strategy for Fidium. “With Fidium, St. Johnsbury can now benefit from the same fast, reliable Wi-Fi experience that might be expected in a big city. 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. This includes participating in local events, such as St. J Sparkles with Discover St. Johnsbury on December 12-13, and stopping by individual homes and businesses with fiber access. 

More than 155,000 Vermont homes and businesses can now connect to Fidium’s reliable fiber network, which is the most expansive in the state at over 9,300 network 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.

Fidium also recently announced the launch of Fidium Fiber Pro, which delivers reliable, 100 percent fiber internet with AI-based Wi-Fi technology to single-location small businesses.
