Fidium Fiber connects Washington County communities to future-proof internet
New all-fiber network from Fidium Fiber brings access to multi-gig speed internet speeds to more than 900 homes and businesses in Princeton and more rural Washington County communities
PRINCETON, Maine, — August 29, 2024 — Fidium Fiber’s multi-gig speed internet is now available to more than 900 homes and businesses in Princeton, Big Lake Township, Grand Lake Stream Plantation, Kossuth Township, Lambert Lake, Talmadge, Topsfield, Vanceboro, Waite, and parts of Indian Township Reservation.
“To be able to access the internet through a high speed, reliable, and affordable network is a game changer for the citizens of Vanceboro and the surrounding area. People can now work, learn, access health care services, connect with family across the globe from their homes”, said Cheryl Monk Long, chair of the Vanceboro Selectboard. “To communicate around the world fast and efficiently is as vital to the growth of our rural community and livelihood of our region as was the opening of the transcontinental railroad in 1871.”
“Fiber connectivity for the very rural Washington County communities of Vanceboro, Lambert Lake, Waite, Talmadge, Topsfield, and Kossuth was only a dream for residents who have long struggled with antiquated infrastructure”, said Elaine Abbot, regional broadband coordinator for Sunrise County Economic Council. “As a result of partnerships with Fidium Fiber and MCA funding, residents will finally be able to participate in telehealth, educational opportunities, civic engagement, and the global economy.”
Fiber broadband is considered the best internet service delivery method among 63 percent of U.S. consumers. With the expansion of Fidium’s future-proof all-fiber network, residents and businesses can now connect to symmetrical multi-gig speed internet and the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection.
“In expanding fiber access, we are proud to help build the future in Washington County”, said Sarah Davis, vice president of market development for Consolidated Communications. “Fiber brings tremendous benefits and transforms how we connect to one another, increasing access to educational, economic, healthcare and entertainment opportunities and options. We are excited to bring the benefits of Fidium Fiber these and more communities across Maine.”
Today, more than 270,000 Maine homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including to the Danforth-area, with additional availability coming soon to Eastport, Houlton and more communities throughout the state.
