Fidium Named Best Internet Provider in Vermont by VermontBiz’s 2026 Best of Business Awards

Best of Business recognition highlights fiber performance trusted by Vermont organizations and communities

BURLINGTON, Vt. – April 14, 2026 – Fidium today announced it has been named Best Internet Provider in Vermont as part of Vermont Business Magazine’s 2026 Best of Business (BOB) Awards, reinforcing its position as a leading 100% fiber internet provider for homes and businesses across the state.

The Best of Business Awards recognize the companies Vermont organizations trust most, honoring excellence across more than 100 business‑to‑business categories. Winners are selected through an annual online vote of VermontBiz readers, representing business leaders and professionals statewide.

Providing fast, reliable fiber internet to more than 160,000 Vermont households and businesses, Fidium’s recognition reflects growing confidence in its fiber‑to‑the‑premises network, which delivers symmetrical speeds and low latency to support everyday digital life – from streaming and remote work at home to cloud‑based operations and video collaboration for businesses.

The award also follows recent independent validation of Fidium’s network performance. In Ookla’s analysis of Q3–Q4 2025 Speedtest Intelligence® data, Fidium earned 62 top performance rankings across Vermont, including community and regional wins for fastest median upload speeds and lowest latency – two metrics increasingly critical for modern connectivity needs.*

“Recognition from Vermont’s business community, alongside independent performance results from Ookla, highlights the real‑world experience customers have with our network,” said Jeffrey Austin, vice president at Fidium. “Whether it’s families working and learning from home or businesses relying on dependable connectivity, fiber delivers the speed, responsiveness and reliability Vermonters need to power work and life.”

Hosted annually by Vermont Business Magazine, the Best of Business Awards highlight companies that stand out for customer service, performance and trust – qualities that continue to grow in importance as demand increases for high‑performance, future‑ready internet.

As reliance on digital tools continues to expand, Fidium remains focused on growing fiber access across Vermont and delivering the consistent performance and customer experience that have earned recognition from both customers and independent industry benchmarks.
