GUILFORD, Maine — Oct. 30, 2024 — Fidium Fiber has expanded its symmetrical, multi-gig speed internet service to Guilford, Maine, making its future-proof fiber network available to more than 800 homes and businesses.

Fiber broadband drives economic growth, in particular for rural communities, increasing business growth by 213% and leading to 44% higher GDP. For individuals, fiber access resulted in self-employment growth of 10% and increased per capita income by 18%. Fiber also increases real estate values, as single-family homes with fiber access have a 4.9% higher value than those without. Fidium's expansion of its all-fiber network brings these opportunities and all the benefits that come with access to fiber broadband connection to Guilford.

"For rural communities, fiber transforms how we connect with one another, increasing access to educational, economic, healthcare and entertainment opportunities and options," said Sarah Davis, vice president of Market Development for Fidium Fiber. "We are proud to help build the future in Guilford, lighting up these and more communities in Maine and connecting them to the benefits of Fidium Fiber."

Today, more than 270,000 Maine homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including Guilford, with more availability coming soon across the state, including in Dexter and Dover-Foxcroft by year's end.
