Future is now in Pittsburg, as Fidium Fiber connects North Country community
More than 2,000 homes and businesses in Pittsburg can now access Fidium's all-fiber network
PITTSBURG, N.H. — Nov. 14, 2024 — Fidium Fiber has expanded its symmetrical, multi-gig speed internet service to Pittsburg, N.H., making its future-proof fiber network available to more than 2,000 homes and businesses.
The Town of Pittsburg is very pleased to have fiber expansion to the Great North Woods and surrounding areas,” said Jamie Bechok, Coos County Broadband Committee representative for the Town of Pittsburg. “Having access to reliable, fast and affordable internet is critically important for North Country residents who rely on the internet for work, healthcare, school and delivery of services such as food and other goods in a place where we have limited availability and access to goods and services. This will positively impact the North Country now and in the future.”
Recent studies confirm that 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. Fidium’s expansion of its all-fiber network brings these opportunities and all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection to Vermont communities.
“For rural communities, fiber transforms how we connect with one another, increasing access to educational, economic, healthcare and entertainment opportunities and options,” said Jeff McIver, senior government relations manager for Fidium Fiber. “We are proud to help build the future in Pittsburg, lighting up these and more communities in New Hampshire and connecting them to the benefits of Fidium Fiber.”
Today, more than 276,000 New Hampshire homes and businesses have access to Fidium, including Pittsburg, Northumberland, Errol and Berlin, with more availability coming soon across the state.
