More than 7,700 homes and businesses in Westbrook and Gorham gain access to Fidium's all-fiber network

WESTBROOK, Maine — Feb. 26, 2025 — Fidium, Maine’s best internet provider, has expanded its multi-gig, symmetrical speed internet service to Westbrook and parts of Gorham, bringing its future-proof fiber network to more than 7,700 homes and businesses.

Fidium’s expansion of its all fiber, future-proof network brings all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection. 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.

“Fiber transforms how we connect with one another, delivering superior speeds, low latency and high reliability,” said Sarah Davis, vice president of Market Development for Fidium. “We are proud to expand Fidium’s future-proof network to Westbrook and Gorham, bringing turbocharged speeds and benefits that can go even further. Access to fiber improves educational outcomes, reduces healthcare costs, enhances economic opportunities, and much more. With Fidium’s new fiber network now in place, these communities are poised for a future powered by connectivity.”

Today, more than 294,000 Maine homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including Cumberland, Falmouth and Portland. Construction is underway in Windham and Standish, as well as additional expansion in Gorham.
