“For years, the industry focused almost entirely on download speeds,” said Dan Sumner, chief marketing officer for Fidium. “But households and businesses today depend just as much on strong upload performance and low latency for streaming, gaming, video calls and home security. This data reflects Fidium’s real-world impact for our customers and showcases the performance advantages of a 100% fiber-to-the-home network.”
Why Network Architecture Matters
For more than 350,000 households and businesses in New Hampshire, Fidium’s fiber network delivers the speed, reliability and responsiveness needed to power everyday digital life.
Video conferencing, cloud-based work, streaming, connected home devices and online gaming all rely on consistent upload speeds and low latency, not just fast downloads. Even upgraded cable networks continue to rely on legacy copper infrastructure for the final connection into the home. Fidium’s network is fiber all the way to the premises, enabling symmetrical speeds and more consistent performance, particularly during peak usage times.
“Our network is the foundation of every customer experience we deliver,” said Gabe Waggoner, chief network officer for Fidium. “With more than $1.9 billion invested in fiber since 2020 and nearly 70% of our footprint served in by fiber infrastructure in 2026, we’re able to provide the speed, reliability and performance our customers count on every day.”
Performance and Transparency
The Ookla results build on a year of momentum for Fidium, including:
- Industry-leading Net Promoter Score performance in its markets
- Recognition as one of America’s Most Reliable Companies by Newsweek
- Recognition by CNET as the Best Internet Provider in New Hampshire, 2026
- Voted as Best of the 603 and Keene’s Best for internet service provider
“All of Fidium’s fiber internet plans run on our 100% fiber network, with no data caps, no hidden fees and no long-term contracts,” said Sumner. “Customers can feel the difference in both performance and simplicity.”
Fidium currently offers up to 2 Gig symmetrical speeds on its 100% fiber network, with new multi-gig tiers of up to 8 Gig with WiFi 7 beginning to roll out in April in select markets. For more information or to check availability, visit FidiumFiber.com.
