From WCAX: Fidium to begin installing all-fiber network in St. Johnsbury

Fiber optic internet service is being made available for the first time to more than 26,000 homes and businesses in the Upper Valley.

Internet provider Fidium is expanding its fiber broadband network in York County, bringing next-generation connectivity to thousands of homes and businesses. Construction is set to begin June 15 to bring symmetrical multi-gig speed access to Wells, Ogunquit and Kennebunk, and expand availability in York. The expansion will triple fiber availability in York County, with the goal of reaching more than 37,000 homes and businesses by the end of the year.

Brewer city officials celebrated their new ‘Gig Town’ status, meaning businesses and residents will have another option for fast internet. During their monthly ‘Coffee with the Mayor’ event, officials gathered in City Hall for a ribbon-cutting and welcome to Fidium Fiber. More than 6,800 homes and businesses will now have access to multi-gig internet speed from Fidium.

Fidium is expanding its all-fiber internet network in Readsboro, bringing multi-gig speed internet to more than 1,100 homes and businesses. Fiber infrastructure construction is scheduled to begin as soon as June 15, with exact start dates varying by location.
