Award highlights service as Maine's favorite fiber provider, as Fidium continues to build multi-gig speed all-fiber network

PORTLAND, Maine - Jan. 9, 2025 - Fidium has been awarded Best Internet Provider in Maine by CNET, highlighting the turbocharged gig-speeds, excellent value and customer experience from the fiber internet service provider.

"Being recognized by CNET is a tremendous achievement and is a testament to our team's hard work and commitment to excellence," said Sarah Davis, vice president of market development for Fidium. "We continue to expand our exceptional speeds and service, as well as our superior customer experience, across Maine. In this effort, we have seen firsthand how better internet enhances people's lives, bringing new employment and entertainment opportunities, and expanding economic benefits that uplift communities. We're proud of the impact we're making for our customers, and we appreciate CNET validating our offerings."

As Fidium is recognized with this award, the fiber provider continues to lead the charge in helping the state of Maine achieve its broadband connectivity goals. In just three years, Fidium expanded its all-fiber network to more than 294,000 Maine homes and businesses, with even more planned for 2025.

Fidium's investment in Maine has brought symmetrical, multi-gig speed internet to some of the most remote regions of the state, affording residents access to the benefits of fiber connection, no matter their address. Partnerships with Maine Connectivity Authority have supported Fidium's expansion in Maine, including 2024 fiber expansion projects to bring Fidium to the Greater East Grand Region and to Somerset County. In 2025, Fidium will expand to more than 120,000 additional homes and businesses in Maine, bringing future-proof connectivity to even more communities.

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. In bringing multi-gig speeds and quality service to residents and business owners, Fidium connects communities to all the benefits that come with access to a fiber broadband connection, including the flexibility to work from home as a parent.

Fidium delivers multi-gig-speed internet without contracts, installation fees or data caps. All Fidium plans offer reliable, symmetrical speeds from 100 Mbps to 2 Gigs (2000 Mbps).
