Fidium completes Lebanon fiber expansion, upgrades Upper Valley connectivity

More than 26,000 Upper Valley homes and businesses in Vermont and New Hampshire can now access Fidium’s multi-gig speeds, as future-ready connectivity and economic opportunity come to Lebanon

LEBANON, N.H. — Oct. 22, 2025 —Fidium, recognized by CNET as the best internet provider for its Upper Valley service area, has expanded its multi-gig speed network to Lebanon, N.H., bringing new all-fiber internet access to more than 6,000 homes and businesses. This milestone is part of a broader effort that now delivers fiber access to over 26,000 locations across the Upper Valley region of Vermont and New Hampshire, including Lebanon, White River Junction, Hartland, Croydon, Grantham, and Newport.

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

“Upper Valley residents deserve the best internet no matter where they live,” said Scott Brooks, Director of Government Affairs for Fidium. “With Fidium fiber internet, everyone in Lebanon can now benefit from the same fast, reliable connectivity you’d expect in a big city, without having to leave home. We’re solving not only today’s needs, but providing generational infrastructure that will support families, students, and businesses well into the future.”

Fidium representatives will be visiting the community in the coming weeks to share service options and availability, participate in local events, and connect directly with residents and business owners.

With a network spanning 25,000 miles across Vermont and New Hampshire, Fidium now delivers fast and reliable fiber internet to more than 475,000 homes and businesses in 256 communities combined between the states. These communities are now benefiting from fast, reliable internet and the countless opportunities it unlocks—including improved educational outcomes for students, telehealth and reduced healthcare costs, and enhanced economic opportunities for remote workers and small business owners.

Fiber broadband drives economic growth, in particular for rural communities, where fiber access led to a 44% higher GDP. Fiber connectivity also brings self-employment growth of 10%, increases per capita income by 18%, and increases real estate values by 4.9%. Businesses also see a 213% increase in growth, as fiber enables opportunities to enhance customer experiences, reduce costs, improve employee productivity, improve network operations, and meet revenue targets through implementation of emerging technologies, such as AI.

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 launched Fidium Fiber Pro, which delivers reliable, 100 percent fiber internet with AI-based Wi-Fi technology to single-location small businesses.

Fidium residential and small business internet plans are backed by the Fidium Promise, which includes 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.
